Appendix 1 Knowledge platform

The Knowledge Sharing Platforma scientific wiki integrated to a scientific community

THE NEED

• Scientific research reports are

usually compiled and posted in a

single and static place

• Visibility is low, updates are difficult.

Those files become obsolete pretty

fast, get lost and unseen

THE SOLUTION• Establish a knowledge ecosystem which

combines the “Wikipedia-approach” of

knowledge sharing, with the high

interactivity of social media platforms

• Result is:

• An online platform filled with high-quality scientific

information on all formats (text, pictures, videos,

sound), populated and visited by health experts and

knowledge-seekers alike

• An interactive solution, bringing science knowledge

to life, generating returning members and dynamic

up to date content

• An expandable model

• A shared development cost
