Patient-Centric Approach[edit | edit source]

WikiMD's strives to eliminate the medical jargon, and bring the information directly to patients in their own language making it patient-friendly. This approach helps avoid not only the confusing medical jargon but also reduces the "information overload" that often occurs when trying to understand complex medical information, such as prescription labels. We make it simple and easy to understand so that an average Joe anywhere in the world can comprehend the information.

Big Pharma[edit | edit source]

A Gallup Poll conducted in August 2019 found that 58% of Americans held negative views of the pharmaceutical industry, while only 27% held positive views. This sentiment is driven by concerns about the cost, safety, and effectiveness of medications, as well as the influence of the pharmaceutical industry on healthcare providers and policymakers.

WikiMD's Mission[edit | edit source]

Multi keyword search[edit | edit source]

For example, you can search for a cardiologist, with at least 10 years of experience, located within 25 mile radius, that speaks your language, takes your insurance and likes let us say golf! In traditional search engines, you have to spend hours to search on each of these keywords, but with wikiMD, you can do it all in one go!

  • You can search things like cardiologists within 50 miles of radius from your zip code, that have 20 year experience with a hobby of golfing!"
  • In other words, WikiMD brings answers to questions you cannot ask Alexa or Siri!. Test the WikiMD's drill down and see it for yourself!
