On June 10th, 2015Wiki Project Med Foundation andWikimedia Switzerland launched an Android app that contains all of the English Wikipedia's health care content includingmedical,anatomy,medication,physiology,dentistry, andsanitation related articles as tagged by the respectiveWikiProjects. Since then, further language versions have followed. All versions of the app are available for download onGoogle Play.
In 2018 an English-language WikiMed app was launched in theMicrosoft Store: this app can be installed on all Windows 10/11 devices (PCs, tablets, phones, Xbox). In 2020 Electron versions of this app (with built-in WikiMed archive) were provided on the Kiwix JS PWAGitHub Releases page, and these run on Windows 7, 8, 10 or 11 (32bit / 64bit).
