The Philosophy
Our strong commitment to MEDtube comes from the belief that medical sciences, as we know them today, are going to be revolutionized by innovation and the application of new technologies, visual ones in particular. Communication and knowledge diffusion without any geographical or cultural barriers, via broadband Internet, is opening new horizons to medical practice and sciences. This will improve patient comfort and well-being.
We strongly support the idea of sharing medical knowledge among medical doctors across the world and it is our goal that MEDtube will play a central role in accelerating this process. Benefits of sharing beyond small private network of direct contacts are underestimated and uncountable.
The Content Quality
MEDtube is strict about quality. Before publication all the uploaded materials are reviewed and have to be accepted by editorial team consisting of MDs with deep expertise across all medical specialties. Controversial material or such without clear educational value will not be published.Registration and Access to the Content
MEDtube is dedicated to healthcare professionals i.e. MDs, medicine students, university teachers and all content is available to them without limitations and for free. Some restrictions have been put on a group of materials and the registration is required to view them. No fees are charged for public demonstration of the content available on MEDtube website. However not obligatory, the registration provides users with additional services and benefits from the MEDtube community. We encourage doctors to upload their own materials and to promote them in the global network of healthcare professionals to the benefit of colleagues around the world.
The Business Model
The MEDtube business model is transparent - no fees are charged on viewing content uploaded by MEDtube users and the revenue stream is generated only from commercial sponsors and projects. MEDtube is providing an advanced technological video platform and does not charge physicians who want to share their knowledge (upload high quality videos). Content provided should not contain any commercial brands or product placement. Costs of the website technical maintenance, content management and global expansion are substantial. MEDtube is an independent venture. Its growth needs are satisfied by financial support of its founders (four individuals). The operating costs are covered by revenue generated from sponsors and strategic partners (eg. manufacturers of medical devices). MEDtube is growing and it will continue.
The Team
MEDtube team is orchestrated and motivated around one goal - building a unique new medical tool to educate doctors faster, better and cheaper. The team consists of medical doctors, IT specialists and managers. There are 16 talented individuals in the team who guarantee high level of medical content and the technical reliability of the website.
