Refining Medical Knowledge
Our Mission Towards Evidence-Based Medicine and Value-Based Medicine
We believe that everyone has something to learn, and every individual has something to teach. The challenge faced today is that with medical knowledge now doubling every 73 days how can any individual be expected to keep up. We set out to develop a platform that could capture, categorize, and refine medical knowledge. A platform that could constantly evolve and be refined with the latest global insights and medical discoveries. A platform that would find the unbiased truth about what works and what doesn’t. We still believe that humans help humans, so we wanted to deliver a tool to empower every individual to easily connect to the best medical knowledge. The AMIKnowS tool can augment healthcare providers experience and allow time and the tools for compassionate care to improve healthcare delivery equally not just for this generation and generations to come. This is the legacy that we want to be part of!

Knowledge is expanding at an unprecedented rate. A study published in PLOS ONE estimated that the volume of medical knowledge doubles approximately every 73 days.
