Konekti is the first closed digital network that connects doctors with their medical associations in an efficient and intuitive way. Publications, polls, research, news, and upcoming events are all published and accessible in one place, on any device, with a single touch. Membership is invitation-only: associations can add doctors to the platform, segmented by practice, and engage with them directly via the platform. The service is monetized through relationships with pharamaceutical companies via ads and interaction campaigns – for example, pharmaceutical companies can use the platform to schedule "detailing visits" (when sales reps visit doctors) or sales calls.
