SmashMedicine Ltd. is an educational technology company that provides a platform designed to improve the learning process for healthcare students and professionals. Founded in 2017 by Dr. Ben Harris and Dr. Jason Walsh, the company originated from their experience as medical students seeking a more engaging and effective way to study. Both founders now hold teaching positions at international universities.
The core of SmashMedicine is a collaborative, evidence-based platform where students, doctors, and faculty can create, answer, and review multiple-choice questions. This crowdsourced approach to content creation is supplemented by artificial intelligence algorithms and gamification elements, such as points and badges, to make learning more interactive and less monotonous. The platform's methodology is based on research indicating that writing questions can improve exam results by up to 15%. The company serves medical students, doctors, universities, and medical societies, providing tools for both initial education and continuous professional development. A key feature is the collection of anonymized patient experiences, which allows students to learn from the patient's perspective, fostering a more patient-centered approach to healthcare education.
Headquartered in Oxford, UK, SmashMedicine has established partnerships with eight universities across Europe and has received several awards, including the University of Oxford's Vice-Chancellor's Education Award and recognition from EIT Health and Cancer Research UK. The company has received investments from accelerator programs like xEdu Accelerator and EIT Health.
