About Labsynk

Your health history should follow you, not stay behind.

Labsynk began with two everyday scenes: an emergency unit that could not start without a paper card, and a lab result that anyone could fake. This page is about what we saw, what we believe, and what we are building.

What we saw

Two ordinary mornings in a hospital and a lab.

Neither is rare. Families and lab scientists across Nigeria will recognise both. They are why Labsynk exists.

01

The question that comes before care.

A family rushes a woman into an emergency unit before dawn. She is not breathing. The first question is not about her breathing. It is: “Where is her card?”

Her history exists. It is written down, in a folder, on a shelf, in the same hospital. It simply cannot reach the people who need it. The same thing happens to every accident victim who arrives unconscious, with no card at all.

Time is the enemy, and paper costs the minutes that matter most.

A scenarioTime since arrival
  1. 05:02Emergency unit.A woman is carried in. She is not breathing.
  2. 05:03“Where is her card?”A paper card, a quarter of an A4 sheet. Nothing starts without it.
  3. 05:04Back home to search.Forty minutes there and back. There are many cards in her room.
  4. 05:44The card arrives.Now someone can go and fetch her folder.
  5. 05:51“Her file is in another unit.”Same hospital, another building. More waiting.

05:03 with Labsynk: one scan of her Health ID card, or her thumb where the unit has a fingerprint reader. Her blood group, allergies and medicines are on the screen.

02

A result anyone could fake.

A patient is sent for a Widal test. The result comes back on a full A4 sheet, typed into one Word template that the lab edits by hand for every patient, then types over for the next.

Nothing is saved. There is no way to check that the paper is genuine, and fake test results are a real problem in Nigeria. Skilled scientists spend their mornings retyping instead of testing.

A result should be able to prove itself.

Both problems have the same root. The record lives on paper, in one room, and nobody can check it or reach it in time. That is what Labsynk is built to change.

A note from our founder

Why I started Labsynk.

01The card

I was in 100 level, studying Computer Science, when my sister woke me around five one morning. Our mother was not breathing. I rushed her to the hospital's Emergency Unit.

The first thing they asked me was: “Where is her card?”

The card was a piece of paper about a quarter of an A4 sheet, with the hospital's logo, her name and a number. Her records were kept on paper, in folders, in offices, arranged like books in a library. Without the card they could not fetch her file, and they would not attend to her until they had it.

I didn't know which card they meant. My sister had seen many cards in our mother's room. Home and back is about forty minutes. I spent more than thirty of them searching, found the card and brought it back. Then we were told her file wasn't kept at the Emergency Unit. It was stored in another unit of the hospital, and there were more delays.

By God's grace, she survived. But she nearly died because of missing health information, information that already existed, written down, somewhere in the same hospital. Accident victims are brought to that same door every day, unconscious, with no card at all.

02The idea

I kept thinking about it the way a first-year Computer Science student would.

What if Emergency could identify a patient and bring up their records instantly, even if they can't speak? Scan a thumb, and the record is on the screen.

03The result

In 2024, a consultant sent me for tests. At the laboratory everything was manual. My Widal test result was printed on a full A4 sheet, from one Microsoft Word template that they edited by hand for each patient. Nothing was saved anywhere. They just overwrote the same template for the next patient.

There was no QR code and no way to check whether a result was genuine. Anyone can edit a Word file, and fake test results are a real problem in Nigeria.

So I pitched the lab's founder an idea: results with a QR verification link, printed on 80mm thermal paper, sent by email, and every record saved properly.

He thanked me and said he couldn't wait for that solution.

04Labsynk

Labsynk is those two ideas, grown up. One record that follows the patient, found in seconds even when they can't speak. Results that anyone can check. Every access logged, and the patient in control.

I am building it for every family standing at an emergency desk at five in the morning, and for every scientist who deserves better than a Word template.

What we believe

What we believe, after what we saw.

  • Patients own their records.

    Facilities see a record only when the patient grants access, and the patient can revoke it at any time. Every opening is logged, and the patient can see it.

  • It has to work in the real world.

    Network outages, low-end Android phones, slow connections, many languages. Labsynk keeps working offline, and patients without a smartphone can use SMS, WhatsApp or USSD.

  • AI works beside clinicians, never in their place.

    Labsynk AI drafts notes and flags risk early. A qualified clinician reviews every suggestion and makes every decision. Patients can opt out of AI processing at any time.

What we are building

One record that follows the patient.

Today the pieces sit in folders, on phones and in Word files. Labsynk connects hospitals, pharmacies, laboratories and patients around one record that the patient holds, and the right people can open in seconds.

  • Found in secondsBy Health ID, card QR or phone number, even when the patient can't speak. By fingerprint where the facility has a reader.
  • Results that prove themselvesEvery lab result carries a QR code. Anyone can scan it and see the genuine result, as the lab issued it.
  • The patient holds the keyAccess is the patient's choice. Every opening, emergencies included, is logged and shown to them.

Our promises

What we will never do.

Health data deserves the highest care. These are the lines we hold, whoever is asking.

  1. 01

    Never sell patient records, or use them for advertising.

    A health record exists to care for the person it describes. That's the only job we give it.

  2. 02

    Never open a record without the patient's say.

    Outside an emergency, access is the patient's choice. Emergency access is always logged, and the patient is told.

  3. 03

    Never let AI make a medical decision.

    AI drafts and flags. People with the training and the responsibility decide.

  4. 04

    Never hold a facility's data hostage.

    Your records stay yours. If you leave, we help you take them with you.

  5. 05

    Never claim a certificate we haven't earned.

    We say “designed for” and “built around” until an audit or registration backs anything stronger.
