TechTool review – MedShr by MedShr Ltd on Android and iOS…and website
MedShr is a private social network for doctors. It aims to allow the sharing of interesting patients including photos/videos. Members can discuss their cases and ask for suggestions from others. It aims to help improve clinical practice and facilitate learning and the sharing of patient data in a secure environment.
The website gives no information about who runs MedShr (a bug bear of mine) but I know from speaking to them that it was created initially by a Cardiologist in the UK. I think they have brought in other UK clinicians to help edit/stimulate discussion on a range of specialties.
Website: – iTunes – Google Play – Website
Design
Once you verify that you are a healthcare professional, you can log into your account
Users can select their area of interest and view discussions/cases in their own specialty
Posts that interest you can be saved for later
You can follow/connect with specific users and be notified of their future posts
Patients can consent on the app to their images being used
Images can be de-identified in the app itself
I browsed the paediatric section. There was a good selection of images/cases across a range of specialty with some discussion underneath each photo.
