We’d like to announce our new project, the Medtech Wiki, an open source knowledge base about medical technologies and devices. Hopefully we can all work on it…together: The Medgadget Wiki.
If you’re new to the interwebs, a Wiki is a user-editable reference designed to be populated with entries by anyone and edited/maintained by the user community at large.
What does this mean in our case? To be honest, we’re not entirely sure. First off, we’d love to have a nice “base” layer of reference articles on basic medgadgets.
Because our audience needs to know more than the basics of what a particular device is, we’d like to have entries for specific devices. Do you work for a medical device company? We’d love for you to make an entry on your device. Do you have an idea for a future device, let the world know.
That’s right, you heard us: free advertising…sort of. Anything too self-congratulatory presents an excellent target for being corrected. Thus, when you claim your herbal remedy fights cancer, impotence, depression, hypertension, constipation, or total impaction, all “using an all-natural Chinese formula,” someone will probably clean your entry. However, stick to the facts and label any theory/arguments as such and you should be OK.
