WikiRx
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.
