About Emirates Urological Society
The Emirates Urological Society (EUS) is a leading professional medical organization in the UAE dedicated to advancing urological care, research, and education across the region. They host annual conferences and events that bring together healthcare professionals, researchers, and industry experts to share knowledge, discuss the latest advancements in urological medicine, and foster collaboration within the medical community.
Challenge
The Emirates Urological Society needed a comprehensive digital solution to enhance their medical conference experience. Traditional paper-based programs and static schedules were limiting attendee engagement and making it difficult for participants to navigate the complex agenda of scientific sessions, workshops, and networking events. They required a platform that could:
- Provide easy access to session schedules and speaker information
- Enable real-time audience interaction during presentations
- Facilitate collection of feedback and survey responses
- Share medical abstracts and presentation materials securely
- Work seamlessly across all devices and platforms
Solution
webMOBI designed and deployed a comprehensive event application tailored specifically for the Emirates Urological Society's conference needs. The solution included a cross-platform app accessible via desktop, tablet, and mobile devices with native apps for both Android and iOS. The platform was customized to support the unique requirements of medical conferences, including abstract management, Q&A sessions, and CME credit tracking.
