About this Website
MedDex is a free, online dictionary of medical abbreviations. Search hundreds of medical abbreviations, acronyms, shorthands and more!
We aim to simplify the complex world of medical abbreviations by providing a centralised platform for accessing medical abbreviations, ensuring clarity and accuracy in medical communication.
Our vision is to empower healthcare professionals, students and enthusiasts with instant access to a vast database of medical abbreviations, enhancing efficiency and patient care outcomes.
We created MedDex in April 2024 for our Fundamentals of Entrepreneurship and Innovation course. The course just involved designing a framework for a potential business, but we decided to go ahead and build the actual product - this website!
