There is a new app like “Facebook for Doctors and other medical professionals” called DOCQUITY. It does not only help medical practitioners network and learn from other doctors but also help them with their continuous professional development (CPD) / continuous medical education.
Docquity, Asia’s leading network app for medical professionals. Launched and unveiled in the Philippines last April 27 at the Discovery Primea. The app has very strong presence in Indonesia, Thailand and Singapore.
With around 60,000 practicing doctors in the Philippines, Amit Vithal, Chief Operating Officer of Docquity Holdings Pte. Ltd., the company that owns the app, says they are now aggressively expanding their operations in the Philippines.
“We want to serve the huge market here in the country since according to our extensive research, it’s difficult for a doctor to acquire CPD units because of their very busy schedule and limited options. Docquity addresses that specific need by providing an easily accessible, safe and trusted learning environment in the convenience of their smartphones and other portable devices,” Vithal explained during the launch.
Similar to other social media apps, DOCQUITY has forums also for clinical discussions, peer consultations and medico legal support for doctors. The difference with other social media platforms is it is dedicated to medical professionals.
Docquity has also partnered with Vireo Loadworks Inc. (vireoloadworks.com), a leading mobile phone loading app, to provide the technical expertise and marketing support to grow the app in the Philippines. Vireo also provided a top-notch team of doctors who will comprise a medical board that will provide sound advice and direction to Docquity’s efforts.
“Our vast local experience and expertise in technical mobile platforms were the primary considerations for Docquity to partner with us, not to mention our good relationships with leading doctor communities here such as the Philippine Medical Association and the Philippine Hospital Association among others,” says Dr. Loysa Orense, president of Vireo Loadworks Inc.
“This partnership is a first and a pioneering project in the country. The medical doctor community will be the primary group to try an app-based CPD units registration. We recognized it’s potential to help all doctors in the country wanting to renew their medical licenses through additional CPD units from the App. Docquity is accredited by the Philippine Regulations Commission,” added Orense.
