The Digital Clinicians Network (DCN) is a verifiable but niche community initiative for doctors in digital health, primarily active via Medium and a website since 2020. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing demonstrably false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience 'everyone') and nonsensical revenue metrics ('marketcap: 2500000'). While the underlying concept has utility for its specific target demographic, the submission's lack of seriousness and the project's apparent dormancy (content peaking in 2021) result in a very low score.
