Siilo - ESMINT's messenger app

Now, more than ever, it’s important to optimise the efficiency of information sharing and collaboration. How can we communicate quickly, without bureaucracy, but with maximum data security?

We are happy to provide all ESMINT members with a dedicated ESMINT network on the Siilo medical app.

This app will enable us to communicate professionally, to clarify questions and exchange experiences in an effective and direct way, both during this pandemic and beyond.

Join this network and take advantage of the opportunity for secure, effective mobile communication to ensure the safety of every patient and medical professional.

What is Siilo?

Siilo is a secure medical messaging app, designed to help healthcare professionals and teams better collaborate on difficult cases, improve patient care, and share knowledge in a compliant way.  Siilo is GDPR compliant, has an intuitive interface, and is healthcare specific.

ESMINT's Siilo App

Siilo - the messenger for ESMINT

To enable the neurointerventional community to exchange information on the latest cases and learn from each other’s experience on a daily basis, ESMINT has initiated a dedicated network on the Siilo App.

We will use Siilo to:

  • Help you find and communicate directly with all your colleagues in the ESMINT address book, which is located in the ‘Spaces’ tab.
  • Have topic-specific discussions and exchanges in the ESMINT space. Ask and answer questions yourself and read what others are writing – ESMINT group leaders are available as experts.
  • Create chat-groups on urgent matters with relevant colleagues.
  • Make and receive secure video and voice calls to and from other users of the app

The current channels in the ESMINT space at Siilo are:

  • Urgent case support: This channel is designed to provide you with support to help you with an urgent case.
  • Aneurysms: Share your experiences, ask questions and evaluate findings.
  • Stroke: Share your experiences, ask questions and evaluate findings.
  • AVM/DAVF: Share your experiences, ask questions and evaluate findings.
  • COVID-19: Address your COVID-19 concerns – whether it’s a treatment guideline, certain cases or a very specific question. Or maybe you’ve read a super-good paper and think others should know about it? Post it so that others can see what’s current in the literature about COVID-19!
  • Recent Publications & Research: Share the newest publications and research!
  • ESMINT Congress: The ESMINT Congress is at the forefront of cutting-edge science and innovation. Discuss topics related to our ESMINT Congress here.
  • ESMINT News: We will use this channel to communicate key information related to ESMINT, such as our scientific and educational courses & congress, ESMINT initiatives, and all news about our society.
  • Miscellaneous: Everything else!
