Why Docquity is so popular in Indonesia?

Docquity is a mobile application for :

1. Doctor’s discussion
2. Medical cases 
3. Second opinion for doctors

In a nutshell, Docquity is a medical education and knowledge sharing platform, exclusively for doctors.

This app is popular in Malaysia, India and especially in Indonesia. Primarily, this app facilitates doctors to do CME courses for free.

Besides, it’s one of the best apps for discussing medical cases with other experienced doctors from the same or different specialization.

Creating an effective solution for such a unique yet technically-complex niche is often intimidating, yet Docquity has been successful in the same.

Let’s discuss the factors that led to this massive success for Docquity among the medical professionals’ community.
Why Docquity App Started?

Indranil Roychowdhury, the founder of Docquity app, nearly lost his father in 2011. He had to be suddenly taken to the hospital after experiencing a rapid drop in blood pressure and severe chest Pain.

The senior doctor, who examined the symptoms, diagnosed it as a critical cardiac damage and announced to the family that he had merely a few hours left. Indranil and his family were devastated upon hearing this unfortunate news.

As a last resort to help the family, the senior doctor contacted one of his earlier classmates in the US for a second opinion on the situation.

He called the nurse as soon as he put down the phone and asked her to quickly pump 400 mg of Cordarone into the patient.

Fortunately, the patient’s condition stabilized, and though he remained in the ICU for the next 90 days, he survived. Today he is healthy and fit.

This was a revolutionary moment for the founder. He started wondering about the consequences if the doctor didn’t take a second opinion from his colleague?

How many lives can be saved if there was a platform for sharing such critical cases within the medical community?
That’s when the Eureka Moment happened- create an App to help doctors discuss medical cases while maintaining the privacy and secrecy of their medical research.

Voila! Docquity came into existence, and has rapidly become an essential social network for doctors.

Docquity – Medical Cases Discussion App

Docquity’s popularity is bolstered by the fact that there are very few apps that help doctors remain up to date on the ongoing and upcoming advances in medical science within the limited spare time they get after tedious working hours.

How is Docquity App beneficial for doctors?

Once the basic module for this application was intercepted, the next big challenge was to make it user-friendly, engaging, and of course, useful for the medical community.

Team Docquity studied the framework and elements of several other successful networking apps like LinkedIn and Whatsapp and adapted it accordingly for their own user base to make it simpler and more user-friendly.

As the app development progressed, they learnt that there are so many young graduates that go for internship during their medical study but have very few senior doctors from whom they can learn.

Internship with Doctor

The curiosity and questions bubbling in their minds are often left unanswered because of a lack of guidance.

In the absence of guidance from seniors, the only option left for them is to search the internet for answers. But most information on the web often comes from unreliable sources and hence, can’t be trusted.

Hence, there is a critical need for a reliable source of information for these young graduates.

Docquity has deftly filled this information gap by enabling the flow of accurate and updated information from veterans in the medical field to their youngsters as well as experts from other specializations.

Docquity is an app on which the information is shared by the doctors, for the doctors.

Several doctors publish their journal and post a plethora of case studies that are incredibly helpful for young doctors.

Not only that, it is one of the fastest ways to get your published cases and journals peer-reviewed from experienced doctors.
Such a level of community-enriching and collaborating experience within the medical fraternity is undoubtedly beneficial in the progress of medical research as a whole too.

How Doctors Keep Up with the Advances in Medical Science?

According to a doctor, “Even if the evidence gives up, still the doctor says YES.”

I think becoming a doctor is one of the prestigious careers one can opt for. As we have seen, people see them with respect anywhere they go.

They have a respect for the society and yes the patients respect them a lot and always expect some extra-ordinary cure of their disease from them

Well, the ability of the doctor is not only to cure the disease but also to keep their patients up to date with any update about the treatments that are possible now and were not possible earlier.

According to recent studies in Indonesia, a Doctor has the busiest schedule, an average doctor works 10-12 hours per day and during the internships, they are made to work even more than 12 hours sometimes.

Becoming a doctor is not easy and is one of the toughest careers too.

The main question that I always wondered that if doctors have so busy schedule then how they keep up with the medical technology advances, especially an experienced doctor who is researching and even writing a thesis and attending patients too?

Another question that I used to think was what if a technology has come for some disease and doctor was not aware of it and then what would happen in that case?

Do doctors take a second opinion on some cure? Or a disease? How? Is it helpful?

 

Do Doctors want the Second Opinion?

 

I tried to find answers on Quora and LinkedIn but didn’t get any satisfying answers.

With so many questions, I decided to talk to a doctor who can answer my queries and can clear my mind about advances in the medical field.

I chose 3 doctors and wanted to gather different opinions.

I contacted a Heart Surgeon, a General Physician and a doctor for Internal medicine.

Firstly was the heart Surgeon, the most difficult medical study of all who is mostly called in case of emergency for a quick heart surgery and he didn’t give me an appointment for 2 weeks because he was that busy and on talking to him, I realized he was pretty much updated about his work and the advances in medical Field and being a senior doctor he was into research too.

But How come he managed everything?

He said:  I don’t like to answer much on Quora but I do different CME Courses & SKP Courses Online all the time every year and also discuss medical cases with other doctors on different Apps like Docquity.

He added that doctors are busy but still respect a second opinion every time and he continued there had been times when taking a second opinion from doctors was difficult and the doctor had only 2 things to deal with the patient, the experience and the medical studies he did.

Next, I contacted a General Physician in Jakarta; these doctors can be a lot busy because during the time of Flu they have to look up to 200-300 patients and have to listen 10-15 minutes to each one of them and even write the prescription with it.

 

The answer was not exactly the same, but somewhat same he too used apps Like Docquity to discuss medical cases and also study SKP courses.

The only thing that was best with him he got an ample amount of time for studying the books and has subscribed hundreds of magazines when there was no season of Flu and has few very patients.

These doctors get time to use apps like Curofy and Quora. I found these doctors are more social than the other doctors

Till now my all doubts were clear that yes the doctors are keeping up to date with the medical advancements.
Then I started digging in this App Docquity and how it is helping the doctor, that many doctors are using it.

The reason I jumped to start digging in this app because even the third doctor used Docquity and Daily Rounds Medical Discussion App.
