A specialised networking and case discussion app for medical professionals, students and the medical industry
Amid the vast expanses of Google Play Store, there are a lot of specialised apps meant for a particular profession or interest. Curofy is one such app meant for people in the medical profession. It has a lot of interesting features, but overall it can be described as a social network for the medical industry.
According to their numbers, the platform has more than 85,000 doctors from over 600 cities from specializations like Cardiology, Dermatology, Radiology, Orthopaedics, Paediatrics, Internal medicine, General Practice, Dentistry, Endocrinology, Pathology, Pulmonology, Sexology, ENT, Ophthalmology, General Surgery, Gastroenterology and much more. They also have tie-ups with medical associations like FOGSI, API, ASI, IDA etc to conduct live coverage of their conferences.
The app highlights jobs from various private and government hospitals from across the country. A doctor can create their profile on the app and apply to their dream jobs with a single tap. Once the app is downloaded, it asks you to create a profile. This is where it gets serious. If you are registering as a doctor, you will need to provide your registration ID using which the app verifies that you are a genuine doctor. Also, if you are registering as a student, you are required to provide a picture of your college ID.
