About us

MAGIC started out in 2009 as a research and innovation program focussing on solving challenges in creating and disseminating clinical practice guidelines. We had a vision to bring together the great advances in standards and methods for guidelines, combined with the latest web technology, intuitive design and emphasis on open and linked digitally structured data to create new tools to facilitate the creation, dissemination and implementation of clinical practice guidelines. This resulted in the launch of the MAGICapp platform in 2013.

As the potential of MAGICapp became clear, we started working on an ambitious long-term vision of a “Digital and Trustworthy Evidence Ecosystem” in 2014 with an aspiration that MAGICapp would be one part of a broader system of improvements in EBM that increase efficiency and collaboration and reduce waste. This concept of the Evidence Ecosystem is now a mature framework used by many others and advocating for its continued implementation remains a core part of our work.
