What is wellness?

  • Wellness is the act of cultivating healthy habits on a daily basis to get better physical, spiritual and mental health, with the goal of thriving, not just surviving!

WikiMD's Mission
AI in healthcare
  • The real focus of healthcare should be lifestyle, prevention, nutrition, with a compassionate and wellness oriented approach.
  • WikiMD's mission: WikiMD aims to bring in the true science and art of medicine focusing on the prevention, and lifestyle change, as opposed to the big pharma driven version that is being practiced today where new and expensive drugs are pushed as miracle cures.
  • One of the biggest challenges in using generative AI in healthcare is the tendency for these systems to go in to hallucinations overtime. One of the ways to prevent or reduce the chances is to provide the context each time using the pagename on WikiMD as a starting point to provide detailed context each time. Since the content on WikiMD is human edited and moderated, the context is predefined and edit access controlled to reduce chances of errors.
  • Are you interested in using our human written and physician edited high quality content in your AI platform? With over 1.3 million articles, wikiMD can help transform your AI platform.
