A new diagnostic process
At the intersection of innovation and medical expertise, IDA Arena introduces a breakthrough in healthcare diagnostics and patient care. Designed to be completely aligned with clinical reasoning, our platform offers an intuitive and engaging experience. It invites open conversation, allowing for a more natural and responsive dialogue between healthcare providers and patients.
We understand the diversity in healthcare, and IDA Arena is engineered to accommodate a wide range of healthcare systems, independent of country or region. From common ailments to rare conditions, it covers a full range of diseases, ensuring that no patient's needs are left unaddressed.
Language barriers are a thing of the past with our language-independent platform, opening doors to a global patient base. Comprehensive reporting capabilities enable healthcare providers to analyze and share information effortlessly, enhancing collaboration and decision-making.
IDA Arena also facilitates online consultations creating a seamless virtual healthcare experience. Additionally, we prioritize comprehensive privacy, offering personalized privacy settings as requested by the patient.
The right information at the right time
IDA Arena acts as a friendly co-pilot to medical professionals during the diagnostic process. It's more than a tool; it's a trusted companion that represents the current scientific consensus, offering insights that are true, tried, and tested. As it adheres to stringent standards, our platform can function as a gold 'legal' standard, ensuring reliability and integrity in every diagnosis.
In a world where global science appeals to a global audience, why keep reinventing the wheel? IDA Arena provides a global single source, creating an economy of scale that unifies medical knowledge. It serves as a cornerstone, not just for efficiency but for equality. Believing that access to high-quality medical scientific knowledge is a universal human right, we strive to offer free access to everyone, everywhere.
IDA Arena is more than a technological innovation; it's an essential building block for a sustainable healthcare system. By facilitating human intelligence and providing an effective answer to commercial AI, we create a synergy that empowers healthcare providers and enhances patient care.

Q&A
At this point no medical scientific societies are involved, so please keep in mind we are talking about a hypothetical involvement. However, we feel the IDA Arena is completely aligned with their mission to advance the scientific progress with their field. Medical societies organise symposia, workshops and a wide range of other initiatives such as education. On the contents side, they develop guidelines and publish journals which are almost always freely accessible (so-called open access).
Depending on the speciality, a society can have tens of thousands of professionals members. Societies can be specific to a world region and can be specialized for a specific subspecialty or focus group. For example, within the field of rheumatology, the more prominent medical scientific societies are
EULAR
ACR
AFLAR
APLAR
ILAR
PANLAR
PRINTO
Besides these societies, most developed countries have a national organisation of specialists to handle country-specific issues. The bigger (and more active) organisations can even publish their own journals.
The point is that you need a convincing proof-of-concept to get the attention of these medical scientific societies. The promise of IDA Arena is that it enables them to commu- nicate directly to the global, general audience and not just to their own members. This is a new role and a big responsibility, probably requiring some kind of coordination between the societies to get it just right. Just as the European Union they operate on in ‘unity not uniformity’ modus, acknowledging that a healthy amount of anarchy is essential for the vitality of the scientific method.
However, IDA Arena requires a shared consensus and this will likely involve a healthy amount of discussion. The proof of concept is needed for them to fully understand the extent of this responsibility and the
effort involved in embedding and maintaining ‘their diseases and conditions’ of IDA
Arena into their organisation.
Thanks for asking this essential question. We started working on IDA Arena in 2011 and this very topic has been on the top of our agenda for ever since. We have come up with several mechanisms to prevent this from happening. Let’s present a few of them.
The simple answer the first part of the question is total transparancy. Total transparancy in all financial transactions, in all contacts, in all meeting notes, in all salaries, and so on. The added advantage is that this type of organization will attract people with high integrity, providing yet another layer of defense against any wrongdoing. Likewise, all contents of the IDA Arena is completely transparant. Each and every piece of information can be seen and there are no omnious black boxes containing company- confidential, mysterious and/or untraceable algorithms. IDA Arena is an empty systes, containing only elementary data such as symptoms tables and disease IDs. All content is provided by the top-teams (which are supervised by the medical scientific societies) and absolutely no tampering of this content is allowed or even possible.
The second part of the question is also very relevant. There is hardly any point in running a totally honest organisation if that organization fails to innovate or even keep up with developments. It will soon be replaced by an organisation that is cutting edge and is quick to absorb the most recent insights and discoveries. Regardless of the fact if this organisation is honest or not.
We found an effective and fail safe solution to this challenge: by transferring all responsibility for the contents to the medical scientific societies and their teams of top- specialists. Scientists are curious people and highly driven (obsessed might perhaps be a better word) to find answers to existing questions and ultimately, come up with better questions. Absolute nobody is in charge and despite the lack of organisation scientists have contrbuted to much of human progress.
