A video doctor from your phone

Book a doctor and consult by video wherever you are — the same doctors you can see in person.

Your record goes with you

Prescriptions, sick notes, results and referrals stay in your NuHealth record, ready to show a pharmacy or another doctor.

Questions answered any time

Dr LYNX, the AI health assistant, explains and answers in plain words — and tells you when to see a real doctor.

What “a doctor in your pocket” means on NuHealth

It means a real, HPCSA-registered doctor you can book and see by video from your phone, and a record of every visit you can open any time. Dr LYNX helps with questions in between, but it is an AI assistant, not a doctor.

Between visits

Set medicine reminders, log readings such as blood pressure, order medicine from licensed pharmacies for delivery or collection, and keep your appointments in one calendar.

On the web today, in the app soon

Everything here works on the web now with a free account. The NuHealth app for iPhone and Android launches at the end of November 2026 and uses the same account, so nothing has to be set up twice.

What people ask

Is the NuHealth app available yet?

The NuHealth app for iPhone and Android launches at the end of November 2026. Until then everything works on the web, and your web account is the account you will use in the app.

Is Dr LYNX a real doctor?

No. Dr LYNX is NuHealth’s AI health assistant. It explains and answers questions and tells you plainly when you should see a clinician; consultations are with real, registered doctors.
