medizin-transparent.at

Medizin transparent is a German-language health fact-checking service. Its editorial team reviews health claims from advertising, media and the internet against scientific studies and publishes the results as plain-language fact checks, with more than 600 listed on the website. Readers can also submit claims for review through a free inquiry service. Requests from nursing professionals are handled by a separate evidence-based information centre for nurses.

The service is described as a project of Cochrane Österreich at the Universität für Weiterbildung Krems (Donau-Universität Krems). It states that it is certified by the International Fact Checking Network (IFCN) and that its fact checks follow the IFCN code of principles. The site lists its audience as the general public as well as physicians and pharmacists.

The team page lists a project lead, scientific staff, a media and social-media contact and an organisational assistant, all with university e-mail addresses. It also lists former editorial staff. The website does not mention founding year, funding, or open hiring.
