The problem

Healthcare professionals need to stay up-to-date with both their specialities and general medicine, but most educational material is boring and unengaging. This directly affects the quality of the treatment they deliver!

The solution

Community led site where health care providers can upload video, image and text cases and test themselves with existing contributions. The use of points is a gamification mechanism to encourage engagement and introduce a light-hearted competitive element. Realtime aspects are particularly useful for live events (eg. conferences), increasing interest and ensuring that information is retained for the future.
