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
