#Instagram for doctors: how Figure 1 is crowdsourcing diagnoses Where do doctors turn when even they don know what wrong with you?
Colleagues? Books? The internet? A Canadian startup wants to make the answer an Instagram for doctors.
Figure 1 is an app that allows iphone and Android-owning doctors to share images of diseases, injuries and everything in between.
Launched in 2013, the app was born from the idea that sharing images of what confounds doctors with other doctors across the world can help point them in the direction of the right answer.
It something doctors were already doing. Over 10,000 texts, Whatsapps and emails with images of curious and classic cases are being sent in the US each day

and transmit the information to the doctor's office via the app. All data transferred is stored securely
The app allows the doctor to monitor the patient remotely and allows the patient to communicate with the doctor's office.
This eliminates unnecessary trips to the physician, saving time and money. This strengthened patient-doctor relationship facilitates a supportive
and empowering psychological effect on patients. Slip ups in lifestyle can be caught quickly because the app will red-flag the issue,
the doctor can intervene, and the doctor and patient can work on solutions together. Even pre-diabetics can benefit from this preventative care app.
