Geeky Medics

What Geeky Medics does

Geeky Medics is a UK-headquartered medical education platform founded in 2010 by Dr Lewis Potter that provides learning resources, clinical skills training, and AI-augmented assessment tools to medical students and healthcare professionals. Its product portfolio spans free OSCE guides, clinical articles, and revision notes alongside premium offerings including 1,300+ interactive OSCE stations, 50,000+ MCQs, 6,000+ flashcards, mock exams, and physical OSCE textbooks and practice kits. The platform operates a freemium go-to-market model with self-serve annual subscriptions for question banks (MLA AKT, PSA), OSCE station access, and discounted bundles, complemented by B2B institutional licensing for universities and healthcare organisations and partner advertising packages. Distribution is multi-channel via web platform, iOS and Android apps, YouTube, podcast, Discord community, and live webinars, reaching users in 190+ countries with 250M+ cumulative content views and 3M+ monthly views.

The company's strategic differentiator is its AI capability layer, headlined by 900+ AI-powered virtual patients that simulate realistic clinical consultations and an AI Examiner that auto-scores performance against examiner checklists. In 2024–2025 Geeky Medics launched SimChat (a real-time voice, video, and text AI simulation platform), an AI Tutor for conversational revision, and AI-powered custom quiz generation, extending AI from scripted scenarios into multimodal agentic interactions. The business is bootstrapped and privately held, operating with a 1–10 person remote UK team and no disclosed external funding, generating revenue primarily from individual subscriptions, institutional licensing, textbook and physical product sales, and affiliate partnerships (e.g., Eko Health stethoscope).
