About Jawahar Thomas

Inventor | Entrepreneur | Doctor Innovation Patent Granted on 21 April 2016 for Method and Systems for Educational Assessment by the Australian Government. Meksi has been built on a propositional theory, If Alice bakes a pie she places it on the window sill, if no pie is found on the window sill it means Alice did not bake a pie. Now extrapolating that to clinical practice.if proper documentation is lacking in the doctors notes it means the doctor did not ask the right questions,so if the doctor did not ask the right questions it should be assumed that the doctor did not know to ask the right questions. On further research I found a fun way of learning and assessment called Role Play. Also to my surprise I found that role play was an integral part of the OSCE (objective structured clinical examination)used by most medical schools in the world for formal examinations for the past 40 years since its invention in 1976. The major stumbling block was now how would I be able to do achieve standardisation rapidly?because role-play was actually cumbersome,expensive and needed a trained person to facilitate and or supervise. It was then that I decided to build a mechanism where remote role play could be done via a digital platform and the doctors notes could be compared to a world standard and an instant score given. That’s how MEKSI came about.(Meksi is an acronym for medical knowledge simulator) Aside from being the inventor of MEKSI, I have started up and operated three general practices and a specialist centre in Sydney's north-west over the past 9 years and am a Fellow of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners by examination. I have also been an examiner for the RACGP while working as a full time G.P. until July 2015
