When it comes to healthcare, security is crucial. Can you detail the security mechanisms in place within the platform?

We cannot stress the importance of security enough, especially in healthcare. Advanced encryption methods, user data access controls and robust authentication mechanisms are a few security features being implemented. More comprehensive security details will be available during release.

This platform could improve medical education. Can resources such as simulation software, case studies or a healthcare curriculum be included?

Incorporating medical education materials would certainly increase the platform's appeal to students and medical institutions. This is on our roadmap, but other features are taking priority at present.
