About Medeligo®

Medeligo® is the brainchild of neurosurgeon John Ruge, MD, FAANS. His frustration with existing mobile options to quickly and easily find critical neurosurgical information led to the founding of LiveMed Media and the subsequent development of Medeligo® – an oncology search app.

With the help of professional librarians and information specialists, and the creation of proprietary technology – a fast, easy, yet powerful method of searching for highly-targeted oncology information was developed.

LiveMed Media’s vision is to transform the way physicians access medical information, ultimately leading to a new standard in medical education and practice that is easily accessible to all.
