Semmelweis University and Voovo Team Up to Transform Learning

In an exciting collaboration, Semmelweis University 's Department of Prosthodontics has partnered with Voovo to revolutionize student learning by incorporating advanced study techniques. This partnership aims to integrate scientifically proven methods—Spaced Repetition and Active Recall—into the department’s curriculum, raising the bar for educational excellence.

Pioneering Change with Proven Methods

Spaced Repetition and Active Recall are well-documented for their effectiveness in boosting long-term memory retention. Yet, they are often missing in traditional education models, which prioritize conventional exam-focused methods. Through this partnership, we’re shifting that narrative. By incorporating Voovo’s technology, the Department of Prosthodontics is adopting a system of daily repetition and effort-based grading, helping students absorb knowledge more deeply and retain it well beyond their exams.

Success by the Numbers

The early results are impressive: over 92% of students have embraced Voovo’s method daily. This widespread adoption demonstrates that integrating these advanced learning techniques can significantly enhance the educational experience for all students—not just the top performers.

A New Standard in Educational Excellence

At Voovo, we imagine a future where studying doesn’t mean cramming all night. Instead, it’s about spending just 10 minutes a day reviewing key concepts—focusing on what really needs attention. That’s the vision we’re bringing to life with over 10,000 students already learning more efficiently using Voovo.

For too long, education has focused heavily on teaching and testing, leaving the vital process of repetition underemphasized. Yet, research consistently shows that spaced repetition can be twice as effective as cramming when it comes to locking information into long-term memory. Students who spread their study sessions not only remember material better, but they also perform higher on exams given weeks later.

Through our partnership with Semmelweis University, we’re redefining what educational success looks like. Together, we’re making sure students don’t just pass exams—they’re building deeper understanding and lasting knowledge in the process.

A Duolingo-like Gamified Experience That Makes Studying Smarter and More Enjoyable

Voovo acts like your personal study buddy, using a gamified approach inspired by Duolingo . Instead of languages, we help you master exam content with bite-sized steps that make studying more structured and less stressful.

At Semmelweis University’s Department of Prosthodontics, students set three-day goals in two areas: new knowledge and review. Voovo’s adaptive algorithm tracks learning patterns and prompts reviews at the right time, ensuring key concepts stick and keeping students ready for what’s next.

Effort Over Perfection - A New Way to Grade

At Voovo, we value consistent effort over perfection. That’s why our partnership with Semmelweis University introduces effort-based grading, focusing on students’ dedication to reaching their personalized goals.

Voovo’s algorithm tracks key factors like accuracy and response time, setting tailored goals that target each student’s most important material. Achieving these goals earns a consistency score based on regular study habits over three-day cycles. Mistakes simply lead to more reviews—without penalizing scores—so students stay motivated and steadily reinforce their knowledge

From Student Struggles to Empowering 10,000 Learners

Voovo’s journey began at Semmelweis University, where founder Benedek Hermán struggled with memorization as a medical student. Determined to find a better way, he developed Voovo to improve his own retention. When it proved effective, the platform was launched publicly, quickly gaining over 10,000 users.

Semmelweis University’s backing highlights their commitment to innovative education. By adopting Voovo’s repetition-based system, the university aims to boost long-term knowledge retention. Dr. Barbara Kispelyi , VP of the Prosthodontics Department, sees Voovo as a way to engage students more actively, making learning more effective and interactive.

Collaborating on High-Quality Course Content

Voovo leads the creation of semester content at Semmelweis University, with the department thoroughly reviewing it to meet top standards. Using AI, Voovo transforms diverse materials like PowerPoints, textbooks, and practice questions into engaging, interactive formats. The platform offers various quiz types, from multiple-choice to anatomy diagrams and complex biochemical cycles, ensuring comprehensive learning.

Expanding Partnerships for Global Impact

Voovo is expanding its network, seeking new university partnerships to spread its innovative learning approach worldwide. After each semester, Voovo and Semmelweis University collaborate to review outcomes and refine strategies, ensuring top-quality educational content.

These partnerships benefit universities by boosting student retention, improving rankings, and increasing revenue, while Voovo’s AI-driven content and dynamic course formats support academic success and excellence.
