Springer Medizin
Facharzt Training: Expertise at the touch of a button
Springer Medizin Verlag is the leading medical publisher in Germany with a comprehensive range of books, journals and newspapers in print and digital formats. We have been supporting the publishing house with its ambitious digital strategy for several years and have developed and managed the Specialist Training App, which prospective medical specialists can use to prepare for their exams and expand and consolidate their specialist knowledge.
The task
With over 600 medical journals, more than 600 certified training courses, hundreds of specialist books and videos, Springer Medizin is the leading knowledge portal for doctors. Trainee medical specialists are also already using the courses on the web to prepare for their exams with practical cases. The specialist training app should make course preparation even more convenient via mobile app and thus represent a central tool in the everyday life of the target group.
Our solution
The Specialist Training App offers doctors a comprehensive learning experience. Each speciality has its own area in which courses, case studies and collections of content on important topics are offered in a structured manner. The central element of the app is the interactive, practical courses that specifically prepare for the specialist training exam.
The app contains numerous different types of content, which can be accessed and dynamically updated via integration into the existing systems. Taking into account the client's corporate identity, we developed an independent app design system that takes into account the different device features and clearly organises the many navigation levels.
Particular emphasis was placed on fully utilising the advantages of the iOS and Android mobile platforms, for example by enabling offline use of the course offerings. In order to keep the development time manageable and reduce complexity, the mobile app was realised as a cross-platform application based on React Native.
Highlights of the specialist training app
Course download
All available training courses for a specific subject area are optionally available for download and can therefore also be used offline.
Link to e.Medpedia
For various subject areas of the individual specialisms, the Specialist Training app links directly to the e.Medpedia app developed by Hybrid Heroes to provide users with additional content on the selected topic.
Synchronisation between app and website
The training courses are displayed in a web view and thus automatically synchronised with the website. This allows users to track their current learning status both in the app and on the website.
Next steps
We are constantly maintaining the Facharzt Training App and adding new functions. Many thanks to the team at Springer Medizin for their trust, the great cooperation and the opportunity to work on these exciting products.
We look forward to your project!
