G-Med

What G-Med does

G-Med, operated by West 78 Group Ltd., is a gated, physicians-only social and professional collaboration platform headquartered in Israel (Ramat Hayal / Tel Aviv jurisdiction). Founded in 2012 and structured as a private limited company, it connects 1.5 million+ verified physicians across 160+ countries and 100+ specialties through a cloud-based social networking environment. Access is controlled by a triple-verification process combining IQVIA OneKey database checks with medical license validation, ensuring only licensed clinicians can join. Core product modules include clinical case discussions, specialty-specific feeds (128 specialty channels), interactive polls, private messaging, disease-focused groups, curated medical news, and virtual events. Enterprise-grade end-to-end encryption, HIPAA and GDPR compliance positioning, and HITRUST-aligned verification underpin the platform's privacy posture. The architecture is a single-platform model supplemented by an AI-powered COVID-19 insights dashboard built with Sisense and AWS using Amazon Comprehend Medical.

The company operates a freemium model for physicians, who pay nothing to use the platform. Monetization is driven by healthcare industry partnerships: anonymized, aggregated physician insights are packaged into Physician Insights and Industry Solutions offerings for life-science, pharmaceutical, and medical-device customers seeking market research and business intelligence. A complementary Honoraria Program compensates physicians for participating in surveys, expert panels, and focus groups, creating a structured paid-engagement channel for industry research buyers. Growth is community-led and self-serve, relying on physician referrals, social media presence (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, X), and medical conference visibility rather than direct sales teams. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds and operates with a small team of 1-10 employees, suggesting a lean, capital-efficient model centered on monetizing the proprietary dataset of organic physician dialogue rather than scaling heavy infrastructure.
