new impetus to the development of telemedicine. \u00a0Despite the fight against coronavirus infection, other patients still need the advice of medical specialists. However, the fear of getting infected is increasingly pushing people to look for alternatives, namely, there is a need to seek advice online without leaving home, and without risking their health and the health of their loved ones.\n<br><br>\nThe main idea of \u200b\u200bTOPHealth is to create an application in the field of telemedicine, which will enable the population to receive the necessary and, most importantly, affordable medical care in a timely manner using all possible operating systems of the modern world, be it mobile devices, desktop or laptop computers. This application will help not only patients, but also doctors in obtaining \/ providing remote medical services without a physical presence in a medical institution.\n<br><br>\nThe business model that I describe in my project involves two types of clients: patients who seek help from a doctor, and the doctor himself who provides services in the field of telemedicine. This applications brings about a number of benefits to both parties, namely:\n<br><br>\n<ol>\n \t<li>Time saved\u00a0that was previously spent on finding a suitable clinic, on transport, waiting in line, and much more.<\/li>\n \t<li>Real possibility of social distancing, thanks to the remote way of providing services.<\/li>\n \t<li>Choice of suitable specialists through online catalogs, and analysing\u00a0all the available information, reviews and recommendations before making an appointment, so patients can be confident in the effectiveness of the appointment.<\/li>\n \t<li>Physicians will be able to significantly increase the coverage of potential patients with the time saved, which in turn will have a positive effect on increasing their income.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<br><br>\nThe benefits provided by applications in the field of telemedicine are not at all limited to the points above, but analyses show that the business opportunity in this industry is promising with important growth predicted in the near future.\n\nToday, in these difficult times, creating a new business is quite risky and problematic, but it seems to me that at the same time, the complexity of the current situation gives us the opportunity to come up with something not just new, but valuable in terms of usefulness, capable of solving problems, \u00a0that we encounter in everyday life. The chosen business model in the current market conditions has excellent prospects for which this set of strategic measures was developed to bring the business idea of \u200b TOPHealth to light.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-slide\" data-slide=\"2\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" aria-label=\"2 of 3\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-20b24e9 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"20b24e9\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f5427b4 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"f5427b4\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2bbe725 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"2bbe725\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/ubi.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Berat-Yunus-Bilim-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-image-36321\" alt=\"Berat Yunus Bilim\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ubi.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Berat-Yunus-Bilim-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/ubi.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Berat-Yunus-Bilim-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/ubi.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Berat-Yunus-Bilim.png 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b16502f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b16502f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Berat Bilim<\/em><\/h6><p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u201cUnleash the Power of Electric Mobility: Join the Revolution!\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b3fdad2 cp--a-showcase-text elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b3fdad2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPrepare to witness an electrifying revolution that will reshape the entire automotive industry!

In a world where technology has transformed social interactions, Ghosted offers a safe, anonymous, and enriching experience that promotes local businesses and strengthens communities.\n<br><br>\nWith 67.1% of the global population owning a smartphone and 62.5% being internet users, the paradigm shift caused by the digitization of our lives has reshaped socializing and information consumption across three generations.\n<br><br>\nGhosted challenges this trend by creating an application specifically designed for those who are out and about. Unlike existing social media and dating apps, Ghosted only functions when users are physically present at a venue such as a nightclub, cafe, or bar. The application combines the features of a social media platform and a dating app, allowing users to create multiple avatars and explore different identities for each evening out.\n<br><br>\nGhosted provides a safe and anonymous experience for shy individuals who are seeking meaningful connections. The application ensures privacy by instantly erasing all chat conversations and personal information when a user leaves the venue. Screenshots are blocked, providing users with peace of mind that no trace of their interaction remains once they exit the establishment.\n<br><br>\nGhosted is more than just a dating app; it\u2019s a platform that revitalizes local communities, encourages face-to-face interactions, and creates a space for individuals to express their desired personas for an evening. Say goodbye to the limitations of traditional dating and social media applications and join the Ghosted community to discover a world where digital connections pave the way for real-life connections, with safety, anonymity, and enriched experiences at the forefront.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-swiper-button elementor-swiper-button-prev\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-label=\"Previous\">\n\t\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"60\" height=\"60\" viewBox=\"0 0 60 60\" fill=\"none\"><circle cx=\"30\" cy=\"30\" r=\"30\" fill=\"#EC6905\"><\/circle><path d=\"M33.4668 35.7129L32.5293 36.5332L26.9043 30.2832L26.5332 29.873L26.9043 29.4629L32.5293 23.2129L33.4668 24.0332L28.2129 29.873L33.4668 35.7129Z\" fill=\"white\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-swiper-button elementor-swiper-button-next\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-label=\"Next\">\n\t\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"60\" height=\"60\" viewBox=\"0 0 60 60\" fill=\"none\"><circle cx=\"30\" cy=\"30\" r=\"30\" fill=\"#EC6905\"><\/circle><path d=\"M26.5332 35.7129L27.4707 36.5332L33.0957 30.2832L33.4668 29.873L33.0957 29.4629L27.4707 23.2129L26.5332 24.0332L31.7871 29.873L26.5332 35.7129Z\" fill=\"white\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-pagination\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Home \/ Venture Creation Lab The Venture Creation Lab empowers aspiring entrepreneurs across all the UBI programmes by taking them on a journey from ideation to funding.
