At the end of 2017, more than 185,000 doctors in all specialties were registered for the first time . The company's aim is the " Dialogue for Better Medicine".
Basic idea
The basic idea of the company is based on a research project at the University of Konstanz on the subject of knowledge management in expert groups on a “ peer-to-peer basis” . The aim is to enable the exchange of individual experience in a meaningful and practical way. The core element here is the creation of a network of equal experts ( peers ), which enables barrier-free and censorship-free exchange with one another.
history
The company was founded in 2007 from a research project in the field of strategic management system management at the University of Konstanz for Technology, Business and Design (HTWG). Originally designed as a thesis by the two industrial engineering students Martin Drees and Felix Rademacher, it was funded by the HTWG. After five months, the communication platform had 1,100 registered users. In the meantime, coliquio is a limited liability company and finances itself among other things. a. through market research . This means that doctors can continue to use it free of charge. Clients (usually pharmaceutical companies) can operate info centers with the help of the coliquio editorial team and provide information on their research, preparations, etc. to coliquio members there. The information of the info center is z. B. introduced into the coliquio newsletter. The Infocenter commissioners do not take part in internal doctor-to-doctor discussions. The members stay among themselves.
criticism
Critical voices, such as the Initiative for incorruptible doctors ( MEZIS ), accuse the portal of no longer being completely independent for market research by accepting money from the pharmaceutical industry . The operators counter this argument, however, by stating that they have no influence whatsoever on the discussions taking place in the portal. All participants are solely committed to their best knowledge and conscience .
coliquio GmbH
The website is owned by coliquio GmbH, based in Constance , Baden-Württemberg . It currently has more than 120 employees at three locations (Konstanz, Munich and Hamburg ) and is managed by Felix Rademacher and Martin Drees.
