Our mission
We believe doctors are true everyday heroes. Their profession is a responsible mission that once chosen need a support so it can last lifetime. We are humans who need to be cared. Doctors' need a practical support in the today's world. Our goal is to give healthcare professionals one complete, simple and handy tool for communication and complex management of professional practice & career in response to the today's alarm:
- critical exhaustion and burnout of doctors (especially due to COVID their wellbeing's ruined),
- patients need to be diagnosed faster (difficult access to specialists - too long queues and the need to travel),
- ongoing consultations on mass social media are violating GDPR,
- doctors want to build their network (especially beginning doctors need to support their first decisions and doctors from small town and rural areas need a better access to the knowledge and experts,
- CME-CPD (CME credits) is becoming increasingly mandatory and increasingly enforced.
