Figure 1: The doctor's exclusive Instagram

Do doctors need their own Instagram? Bingo! Canadian doctor Josh Landy has developed a photo-sharing application Figure 1 from his own needs, focusing on doctors around the world to help them share patient photos, study illnesses, and give reasonable diagnostic advice.

Since there are Instagram, why do figure 1? Or because uploading photos on the Instagram is likely to leak patient privacy. Therefore, Figure 1 of registered physicians and medical school students must provide proof. Figure 1 All photos are confidential to the patient identity, face blocks function will automatically in the facial code, while requiring doctors to the patient tattoo and other signs manual code. Only manually audited photos will be added to the database to ensure patient privacy.

For doctors, Figure 1 is a good place to discuss cases, with both rare cases and peer comments and suggestions. For patients with inadequate medical facilities, Figure 1 is also a good place to see a doctor and can consult various medical problems.

Figure 1 was founded on May 28, 2013, received 1.7 million dollars in seed financing at the end of 2013, and received a $4 million dollar a round of financing in August 2014. Currently, it operates in North America, throughout Europe, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. In October 2014, BBC interview figure 1 o'clock, more than 150,000 of doctors have uploaded photos.
