Data from more than 10 large randomized controlled trials (RCTs) demonstrate that it is effective, efficient, addictive and changes behavior. Some key highlights are:
Characteristics Claim Evidence
Effective

Generates improved long-term retention of knowledge in only minutes a day.

Increased retention of knowledge for 2+ years (compared to self-study) in RCT of 524 physicians.

Changes Behavior

Proven to positively impact on-the-job performance and change even engrained behavior.

Decreased unnecessary cancer screenings by 26% in RCT of 95 VA primary care providers, representing a potential cost savings of $650,000 per annum in test costs alone.

Efficient

Adaptive algorithm reduces time to acquire same amount of knowledge as non-adaptive methods.

38% increase in learning efficiency due to adaptive algorithm (compared to non-adaptive method) in RCT of 93 medical students.

Addictive

Learning pushed on a daily basis requiring no more than 5 minutes a day and delivering instant feedback on progress is proven to be addictive.

77-95% of the 3500+ users to date request to enroll in more courses.

Completion rates greater than 70%.

Preferred 3:1 over web-based teaching modules (a gold-standard of e-learning) in RCT of 724 physicians.
