Question 1

How do I log a Workplace-Based Assessment (WBA) on Kudu?

Accepted Answer

Logging a WBA on Kudu is designed to be frictionless. Simply tap the log button, select your assessment type (e.g., Mini-CEX, DOPS, or CBD), fill in the clinical encounter details, and generate a secure supervisor verification link or on-screen QR code.

Question 2

How does the supervisor sign-off work? Do tutors need an account?

Accepted Answer

No, supervisors do not need to register or log in. Once you present the secure QR code or send the validation link, the tutor is taken to a secure, lightweight sign-off screen where they can immediately verify, rate, and comment on your clinical performance in under 30 seconds.

Question 3

Are my clinical reflections private?

Accepted Answer

Kudu prioritizes data privacy. All student reflections and notes are strictly confidential and are only visible to you and your authorized university program administrators or tutors who are directly auditing your progress.

Question 4

How does Kudu prevent fraudulent clinical sign-offs?

Accepted Answer

Kudu employs multi-layered security to verify the integrity of every assessment. This includes our proprietary privacy-preserving Geo-Fence verification (verifying the sign-off took place within authorized clinical site boundaries), time-window limits, unique secure cryptographic hashes, and strict email verification for high-stakes achievements.

Question 5

What is Geo-Fence Verification, and does it track my location?

Accepted Answer

No, Kudu does not track or store your continuous location. Our Geo-Fence verification performs a single, privacy-safe, one-way coordinate check at the exact moment of supervisor sign-off. It only verifies if the sign-off occurred inside the designated clinical training facility (e.g., a specific hospital ward), completely preserving tutor and student privacy.

Question 6

Can I review a resident's historical performance over time?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Educators with dashboard privileges have access to real-time, aggregated performance analytics. This lets you observe skill trajectories across Mini-CEX, DOPS, and multi-source feedback (MSF), helping you identify performance gaps early.

Question 7

How does Kudu map clinical logs to medical school curricula?

Accepted Answer

Kudu maps clinical accomplishments directly to your institution's specific milestone requirements or Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs). Our dynamic mapping engine aligns everyday logs to direct educational goals, ensuring students satisfy graduation criteria systematically.

Question 8

Is Kudu compliant with international data protection standards?

Accepted Answer

Kudu is fully compliant with HIPAA, GDPR, and local educational privacy standards. All medical records and personal student identifiers are strongly encrypted both in-transit (SSL/TLS 1.3) and at-rest (AES-256), backed by isolated cloud hosting on Vercel and Supabase with strict RLS (Row-Level Security) policies.
