What is MedWorm?

MedWorm is a medical RSS feed provider as well as a search engine built on data collected from RSS feeds. RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication and it is a technology used to simply publish and gather details of the very latest information on the internet.

MedWorm collects updates from thousands of authoritative medical sources via RSS feeds. From the data collected, MedWorm provides new outgoing feeds on numerous medical categories that you can subscribe to via any RSS reader of your choice or can simply read on the MedWorm site.

The best way to get a feel for the information that MedWorm can provide is to have a browse through the various categories on the menu above. New categories are being added all the time and we are happy to receive requests for new ones if you can't find the topic you are looking for.

Who owns MedWorm ?

MedWorm was built and is owned by Jamila Hanan, a web developer based in the UK, also known for her activism for human rights and social justice. Here's a statement from Jamila:

"I had been using RSS for my own use to keep up to date with technology, when I began to realise that it could be of great benefit to medics. Since medical professionals are constantly in need of the latest medical research and best methods of treatment, and are also usually overworked with little time to spare, RSS seemed ideal since it could provide the very latest information that is both concise and highly relevant to a specific area of expertise.

I believe that as more physicians, health care workers and those in medical research start to make use of RSS, medicine will see huge leaps forward as the flow of the right information getting to the right people vastly improves. It can also be instrumental in providing patients with the additional information when faced with illness. "
