PRINCIPLE

Making complex information easier to look up.

Médicaliment aims to structure information about potential food–medication interactions so it is easier to find and understand.

The presence of information in the app never replaces the individual assessment of a healthcare professional.

REFERENCES

Traceability that has to stay verifiable.

The detailed register of references used by Médicaliment will be completed with the exact list of the reference base. We deliberately do not display any organization or document until this list has been verified for publication.

The tool must not, on its own, be used to

Change, stop or replace a treatment, make a diagnosis, or take an individual medical decision.
