Figure 1 app

Figure 1, which is often referred to as Instagram for doctors, announced that its platform has hit a major milestone: one million healthcare professionals have viewed medical cases on Figure 1 more than two billion times.

The application enables healthcare professionals and medical students to search and access cases, and offer their own expertise in return.

“Since we launched Figure 1 three years ago, we have experienced tremendous growth and momentum,” Dr. Joshua Landy, Figure 1 cofounder, said in a statement. “Reaching more than one million users is a meaningful step toward our goal of democratizing medical knowledge.”

Brazil is one of Figure 1’s top markets where the app has more than 100,000 users, making it the second-biggest market after the US.

“The global demand for Figure 1 shows how important immediate collaboration is for the healthcare community, and we couldn’t be happier to see medical professionals and students come together on the platform to improve their practice,” Landy added. “At Figure 1, we strongly believe that every patient deserves the best care, no matter their location or resources.”

He concluded that 2017 will be another great year for the company, with continued growth all around the world.
