Healthvarsity, a new AI-powered medical education platform that utilizes blockchain technology and NFT certificates, has been launched in the UAE. The platform, which is headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, is the brainchild of Dr Thumbay Moideen, Founder and President of Healthvarsity and Thumbay Group. It aims to revolutionize the medical education sector by providing quality online medical education and ensuring the security and authenticity of the certificates awarded to users.
The platform has partnered with several institutions from various countries such as Australia, India, and the UK, enabling them to provide courses that are already accredited and certified. Additionally, the platform integrates AI for student analytics, course analytics, and engagement analysis to enhance the learning experience and improve learning outcomes.
If a course requires face-to-face interaction, it will be fulfilled with the help of partners that include the Gulf Medical University (GMU), but the online component will be delivered through Healthvarsity. The team behind the platform includes technology specialists, doctors, and health professionals from various hospitals who have analyzed the problems faced in the healthcare industry and developed hands-on solutions.
To further enhance the learning experience, the platform also integrates AR/VR and metaverse technologies. The platform’s AI technology asks learners questions to provide them with required courses tailored to their profession within the healthcare industry.
Individuals such as doctors, nurses, healthcare professionals, and students who are interested in pursuing health professions education have the opportunity to become part of the frontline heroes. Simultaneously, it will empower learners to select on-demand courses and micro-credentials to improve their careers.
Dr Mohamed M. Al-Eraky, CEO of Healthvarsity, highlights that the platform is a short-term commitment that allows learners to learn what they like, and what they need, according to their career, making it ideal for anyone working in healthcare who wants to learn more about healthcare in different disciplines. Overall, Healthvarsity has a wide spectrum of target audiences, starting from students, professionals, and staff members of universities and hospitals.
