Project Status August 2017

The project was launched in the fall of 2015 with some initial
research and discovery. The initial feedback was encouraging. We then
assembled a long list of specifications so that a pilot project was
started in the summer of 2016 with the following parameters:
- Thirty participating doctors
- Project duration of five weeks
- 35 information sheets in German
The design of the database was completed, which represents the technical and organizational framework for an efficient and reliable publication of multilingual information sheets. This framework also allows us to manage the maintenance of the data properly and approach the promotion of the tool in a systematic manner.
Based on our validated concept and with our initial technical work completed, we approached the info-pharma Foundation and the subscribers of Infomed-Verlag with a request for initial funding around the turn of the year (2016-17).
Approximately CHF 60,000 were donated, which we consider a great success and motivates us even more to bring a good product to market. A big thank you goes out to all our original all donors!
In the meantime, the project has progressed significantly:
- Information sheets on around 230 active substances have been prepared
- The database has been developed
- Translations into six languages were undertaken
Towards the end of the year we would like to start with a free testing phase which will last several months. This testing phase will be open to everyone.
We will continue to report on the progress of the project on an ongoing basis. Enter your email address in the newsletter subscription form at the footer of this page in order to be kept a breast of the latest progress!
