The Evidence Behind Karibu
Orientation fades within weeks. Karibu is engineered around peer-reviewed research on how clinicians actually retain information and decide under pressure.
What we cite: peer-reviewed studies published in 2020 or later (a five-year window covering the post-COVID reorientation of medical education and the LLM era), plus foundational meta-analyses that remain the most-cited sources in the field.

Six Design Principles, and the Research Behind Each
Microlearning
Guidance arrives in focused units of five minutes or less, right on your existing unit screens.
A review of 40 studies found short, focused lessons consistently improved knowledge acquisition, retention, transfer, and task performance. In a single-blind RCT of 60 ICU nurses, microlearning delivered by mobile app significantly reduced stress and anxiety in clinicians working under load.
