We believe medicine should be a team sport.
Peer.Live is a free mobile app which serves as a resource for physicians across the globe. Our mission is to build a community of medical practitioners who assist each other on their most challenging cases. This can, in turn, reduce the risk of diagnostic errors and increase physician productivity.
Mistakes happen to even the best doctors.
Did you know that if medical error was included on death certificates or cause of death rankings, it would rank as the third most common cause of death [1]. It is believed that diagnostic errors are the cause of between 40,000 and 80,000 patient deaths and injuries on an annual basis in the US alone [2]. Previous studies have found that the rate of misdiagnosis in the outpatient setting is approximately 5.08%, indicating this could impact 12 million adults in the US alone [3]. And most at risk are physicians in a solo practice [4], whether this be related to workload, time constraints, or the inability to consult easily with fellow physicians [2].
Peer.Live seeks to improve diagnostic accuracy and delays in care using the power of the crowd.
With the free Peer.Live app, you can submit your challenging cases to be reviewed by our global crowd of doctors. You simply create a new case, add relevant images or files, provide patient history, and set the duration for which the case stays open for the physician community to review.
Once submitted, every physician in the crowd gets a notification about it, and the available doctors will comment on you case in real-time. Then doctors who are able to identify the correct diagnosis vote for an answer, and you will be provided with the results.
Have your group of doctors join our crowd.
We are always looking for medical practitioners in all stages of their career to join our crowd. From experienced providers with a vast depth of knowledge to newer doctors or students who are looking to join for support and education as they begin their practice of medicine, we seek a physicians who value collaboration and the reduction of patient harm.
