6456783 Medgadget Launches Medtech WikiWe’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.
