Create linked S-R flashcards while watching YouTube, Coursera, and Udemy
We do have plans to release browser extensions that will enable you to create flashcards linked to areas of interest in web pages that you are viewing. We will save the URL and a PDF of the page in case the content subsequently changes.
iDoRecall cofounder and 67 y/o entrepreneur here. Today’s version of iDR is a total rewrite of our MVP. iDR began as a digital solution enabling the cognitive science strategies that I used to graduate #1 in my med school class back in the analog 70s [1]. iDR takes spaced-repetition flashcards beyond the bounds of well-known solutions. Barbara Oakley, Ph.D., creator of Coursera’s Learning How to Learn [2], uses iDR for her own lifelong learning. Recently she became our Chief Learning Science advisor.
Upload your learning content into iDR: PDFs, Word files, PowerPoints, images and many other file types. Add videos hosted on YouTube, Vimeo and other sites to your iDR library. Read, watch and listen to your content on iDR.
Create flashcards (we call them “recalls”) that are linked directly to the concepts, facts, formulae or whatever you want to remember in your learning materials.
When you practice memory retrieval with your recalls, if you struggle with the answer, you’re one click away from seeing the exact spot in your content where you created the recall so that you can quickly refresh your memory in the original context where you learned it. Stop wasting time rereading. Read once. Watch once. Listen once. Abstract and curate what you want to remember into recalls and use spaced-repetition memory retrieval to remember everything you learn. Rereading, highlighting and rereading highlight have been proven suboptimal tactics for remembering what you’ve learned [3].
Metacognition training wheels, Pomodoro timer and project management tools for learners included. Create study groups with classmates and collaborate sharing recalls and content. Teachers can create classes in the app.
We have reference docs on our self-hosted Notion [4] and helpful videos on our YouTube channel [5]. I write about learning on Medium and Better Humans [6]. Please let me know if there is any way that I can be helpful to you.

iDR now allows students to create study groups and share files and flashcards. Teachers can also create classes and do the same.
I'd love your feedback, positive and negative. Thanks!

How to Unlock the Power of Your Brain and Become a Top Student
Q: Earth is the _____ planet from the Sun. A: Earth is the third planet from the Sun.
I have created https://idorecall.com/ a web app (soon to work in mobile browsers too). Unlike Polar, you upload your learning files (Word, PPT, PDFs and image files as well as videos on Youtube) into iDoRecall and read them there. If you see a concept that you comprehend or a fact that you want to remember, create a spaced-repetition flashcard (we call our RECALLS) linked to that fact/concept. Then when you practice your RECALLS, if you forget an answer, click a link and the original source file/video opens at the exact linked location where you created the RECALL. Refresh your memory and quickly get back to your practice session. I wrote a few weeks ago about my life experience that led me to create iDoRecall: https://medium.com/better-humans/how-to-unlock-the-amazing-p...

The Fundamental Way That Universities Are an Illusion
I assure you that even if the doctors are "real" in any given B2C commercial endeavor, there are plenty of frauds practicing medicine. I've seen them first hand. Although we are highly regulated, there is significant risk to one doc whistleblowing on another. I've seen lawsuits for slander. So, the bad apples generally are able to remain in the health care system indefinitely.
As for this particular device, it doesn't pass the sniff test IMO.
Having seen thousands of these studies I can state that many people have severe coronary artery disease at young ages (in their thirties). They are at risk for sudden death. Often they come in for the exam because a parent or sibling died prematurely either recently or at the same age as they are now.
What's interesting, in my experience, is that very often when siblings get the exam, the one with obvious risk factors such as obesity, smoking, diabetes, etc has a normal exam result and the sib with no risk factors (other than maybe sharing a bad family history) has severe disease.
