How does it work?
The platform is a global healthcare service platform which offers assistance to common masses in addition to ongoing medical classes, patient-referrals, and real-time reporting of epidemiological data for researchers and doctors—all through its multiple applications.
The platform works primarily on two applications—The Docademic App which employs AI to assist human doctors in diagnosing and treating patients and The Docademic for Doctors which is essentially a social network that provide users with necessary tools for receiving ongoing medical education and reduce errors in diagnosis etc.
