Collective Intellect Clinical Case Discussion Platform (CICCDP)
The APCO Collective Intellect Clinical Case Discussion Platform (CICCDP) aims to create a platform for doctors across the Asia Pacific to share clinical cases in metabolic bone disease that are challenging and for which they would like to seek management input. The platform is structured around real patient cases (deidentified) that practitioners present, and an expert panel (2-3 panelists per session) will provide input based on evidence-based best practices and treatment protocols. CICCDP currently is targeted primarily at healthcare professionals such as endocrinologists, rheumatologists, etc. who deal with patients with metabolic bone disorders.
Through CICCDP we hope to generate a community of care providers who are exposed to a variety of metabolic bone disorders, and equipped with the knowledge on providing the right care.

They are in current clinical practices of their own and therefore have knowledge of and access to currently available laboratory tests and resources. These esteemed members have successfully straddled both research and clinical realms, and are extensively published. In addition, their prior experience in serving as expert panelists on similar case discussion forums forms a critical criterion for their selection to the panel.
