WikiRx

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

Description[edit]

Basically, WikiRX would be a wiki for information on medicines. It could include brand name, generic name, etc. It would work best with a project such as Wikidata, but it could probably work as a standalone wiki.

Target Audience[edit]

  • Patients
  • Doctors
  • Pharmacists

Benefits[edit]

  • Users could get detailed information on their medicines.
  • Doctors could have access to (theoretically) every medicine in existence.

Obstacles[edit]

  • Obviously, this idea would work better with a database addition to the MediaWiki software (see Wikidata).
  • As always with something like this, you run the risk that someone with malicious intent will use it for illegal purposes.
