Sisi Nurse
A nurse on your phone · verified clinicians · worldwide

Feeling sick? Start with Sisi.

Sisi listens to your symptoms, gives simple health guidance, and connects you with a verified nurse or doctor for care, referrals, or medical certificates — where appropriate.

Verified clinicians  ·  Secure consultations  ·  Medical certificates only after clinical assessment.

How it works

Three steps. Real care.

Start with the AI. End with a real clinician when you need one.

1

Tell Sisi what's wrong

Open a chat. Describe how you feel in your own words, in your own language. Sisi listens.

2

Get instant guidance

Sisi asks clarifying questions, gives general health information, and tells you what to do next.

3

Connect with a verified nurse or doctor

If Sisi sees you need real care, she connects you to a registered clinician — chat or video, your choice.

Step 4 · only if clinically appropriate

Receive a medical certificate

If your consultation supports it, the clinician can issue a valid certificate. Never automatic. Never by AI.

Medical certificates

Need a sick note for work or school? Here's how it really works.

A verified clinician can assess your symptoms online and issue a valid certificate when medically appropriate. We don't sell certificates. We provide consultations.

If the clinician's assessment supports it, you receive a signed digital certificate the same day. If not, you receive clear guidance on what to do next — including referral to in-person care.

Start a consultation
Sisi does not issue fake sick notes.

Certificates are only issued by registered clinicians (HPCSA, NMCN, or equivalent in your country) after a real consultation. Misuse or forgery of medical certificates is a criminal offence in most jurisdictions.

Work sick notes

Valid certificates for employers, when clinically appropriate.

School sick notes

Issued to learners after consultation. Accepted by schools.

Clinic referral letters

Referrals to in-person care, specialists, or imaging.

Follow-up & discharge

Discharge summaries, follow-up instructions, repeat-script context.

Delivered digitally to your phone or email
Signed, dated, verifiable. Forward to your employer or school.

Meet Sisi

Friendly. Careful. Never reckless.

Sisi is an AI health assistant — not a doctor. She listens, asks careful questions, gives you general health information, and knows when to step aside for a real clinician.

  • Sisi never makes a final diagnosis

    She offers information and possible explanations. A registered clinician makes the actual call.

  • Sisi escalates anything serious

    Red-flag symptoms (chest pain, stroke signs, severe bleeding) trigger an immediate escalation to a clinician or emergency guidance.

  • Sisi speaks your language

    English, Yoruba, Igbo, isiZulu, isiXhosa, Afrikaans, Sesotho, Setswana, Swahili, Twi, Amharic, Arabic — and growing.

Sisi
Online · responds in seconds
I have a fever and body pain.
I'll ask a few questions to understand your symptoms. If needed, I'll connect you with a nurse or doctor. How long have you had the fever?
Since yesterday morning. Around 38.5°C.
Got it. Any cough, sore throat, or recent travel?
Sore throat, no travel.
This sounds like it could be a viral illness, but I'm not the right person to diagnose. Want me to set you up with a registered nurse for a proper look?

I got guidance quickly and knew whether I needed a doctor. Saved me a trip to the clinic for what turned out to be a 24-hour bug.

The process was simple and professional. I spoke to a nurse on chat at 11pm — couldn't have asked for better.
