Because of the sparsity of infrastructures and doctors on the African continent, it is difficult for professionals to exchange with each other and keep themselves informed.
REMA offers a simple, easy-to-use and easily accessible solution which allows real-time exchanges between user doctors.
The application guarantees medical secrecy and total confidentiality of the clinical cases published in REMA, initially through its general conditions of use and confidentiality policy and then by verifying the professional status of users. In order to simplify the publication of clinical cases on which doctors may require a second opinion, an editing tool is included in the application.
REMA aims to improve the quality of medical decisions by connecting every doctor in Africa through a mobile application. In fact, REMA is a professional medical network that allows doctors practising exclusively in Africa to publish, discuss, resolve specific patients' cases and work together in real time regardless of distance.
The aim of REMA is to facilitate physician’s access to information, knowledge and their colleagues' experiences. REMA will not in any circumstances provide opinions or comments on the user doctors' discussions on the platform. REMA provides a professional framework conducive to medical collaboration
