DermGrandRounds app for iPhone and iPad

A Rewarding Academic Competition For Dermatologists, Derm Residents and Dermatology PA-Cs and RN-NPs

Derm Grand Round uses gamified collective intelligence of a Professional Board of Advisers to identify skin photos submitted exclusively by dermatologists, dermatology residents and dermatology physician extenders. Dermgrandrounds is the worlds first professional-guided search engine meant to enhance the efficiency and proficiency of information gathering by dermatologists, dermatology residents and dermatology physician extenders by identifying their submitted photographs of skin promptly and precisely using the accuracy of gamified group or crowd-based photo identification. After submitting a photo, the dermgrandrounds.com site will return the top two names of what the majority of the professional board of advisers votes believes best identifies that skin photo.

Dermatological physicians, dermatology residents and their physician extenders participating in identifying photos of skin as members of the voting Professional Board of Advisers will compete to receive cash rewards based on competence and participation in this novel gamified process of collective-crowd intelligence.

This app also involves the worlds first wiki skin textbook (wikiskinatlas) in which credentialed professionals can update their and others knowledge, and also be rewarded for contributing referenced text for our real-time wiki-skin-photo atlas.

Dermatologist who register to user dermgrandrounds are eligible to receive appointment requests from users of the skinstamatic app.

This photo identification process and associated forum and discussions are not unlike the board certification and re-certification and maintenance of certification preparatory courses, and the examination which younger board-certified dermatologists and dermatology residents-in-training must pass for certification and re-certification by the American Board of Dermatology. This website process of group voting and discussion also is similar to the academic dermatology rounds and regional dermatology meetings and sponsored conferences which occur in smaller venues each day around the globe using crowd intelligence.

Dermgrandrounds is dedicated to providing quality health information, discussion, education and cash rewards to our credentialed users via the World Wide Web. At Dermgrandrounds you have access to a variety of quality photographs (photos) and some of the most qualified medical minds in the world. We believe that by gamifying expert knowledge, photos, discussion and text we will motivate you to identify and understand a health concept rather than simply by using standard traditional text sources and costly geographically limited meetings.
