New medical social media in UAE

Imagine a Facebook with only certified doctors as friends and you get the idea — doctors sharing the latest news and medical advancements with each other on their own social media platform to help each other as well as patients get better care.

That’s precisely what has happened with a new e-platform dubbed Doxunity, a new secure web platform launched in the UAE that will enable doctors to connect with other health-care professionals and collaborate regarding patient treatment across the Middle East and North Africa region.

The e-platform, say founders, will improve networking between doctors, allow them to solicit the opinions of other doctors on medical matters and allow for health-care professionals to tap into collective industry experiences in a cost-effective manner.

According to Fadi A. Muhsen, founder and managing partner of Doxunity, only doctors will be allowed access to the platform, which augments Dubai’s bid to be the top hub for medical tourism worldwide.

“We have created a kind of a ‘virtual doctors lounge’ that enables doctors to create groups for certain discussions,” Muhsen said. “They can create a public group where everyone can join and collaborate or they can make it a private group which can only be accessed by invite or they can make a group focusing on a particular speciality such as cardiology.”
