Would your guideline pass the Wakai test?

During our research we asked several medical professionals to describe what good access to a guideline looks like.

“A locum doctor needs to be able to find the information they need in less than 40 seconds on a mobile phone at 4am”

The Wakai Test

At GuideDoc we benchmark our work on ‘The Wakai Test’. It is at the forefront of everything we do, because if we want to make a difference, we know our standards can’t drop below it. This is not about saving money, this is about saving lives.

Our team is proud to be working on a solution that helps doctors and medical professionals save lives. If you are a medical professional working in an area that could benefit from have Guidelines more readily available, please contact us about getting involved in our Beta Launch.
