Instagram For Doctors App: An Image-Based Social Network For The Physicians

Instagram for Doctors' App in just over a year hugely fascinated more than an astounding 125,000 doctors, nurses, other medical professionals and medical students who use the app to share photos of interesting, rare or perplexing conditions they bump into while doing their job. This particular app is taking the next step in its development to become an image-based social network for the physicians.

Images are arranged by specialty and anatomy, so that a user can search for images of ears or nose or images connected to a certain medical field like plastic surgery or dentistry. Users have the capacity to make some changes on any personal or specific detail that come into sight in their images. The app has a built-in consent form to get approval from the patients if it is needed.

Just lately, the company who developed the app silently released a new version of its information and photo sharing service. This provides its users the capacity to make more vigorous profiles of them and build groups around the interest as well as institutions.

Such update mirrors a major growth in the user approval because the company started just a bit more than a year ago. Today, there are about 3.5 medical photos being viewed per second on this site. Recently, the company hit approximately 50 million images viewed.

The founders of the company take some excellent effort to guarantee that there are no identifying details about the patients that will appear with the photo sharing app. This is even a better way for doctors to easily share interesting cases among themselves.

The Instagram for Doctors' App just hit a new landmark with its users creating one million photo views in just a day. The company was able to raise roughly US$4 million in venture capital to assist, encourage its growth and more users to comfortably use it. The most often requested feature is the capacity to follow a user, which is being worked on at the moment.

Dr. Josh Landy, the co-founder cannot promise this to be available very soon, but he said that it is the feature they were working towards. There is still a debate whether to allow the app's users to show the full stream of the content from the users they follow just like how it works with Twitter or have an algorithmically curate selection of posts of their interests just like on Facebook.
