About us
Verified health data since 2006.
McGesund is a platform for verified reviews and structured care signals. We have German roots, have existed since 2006, were cited early on in academic publications and on Wikipedia as a source — and today we are set up Europe-wide with a modern codebase and post-quantum-ready cryptography.
Timeline
2006
Founding of McGesund.de
Launched as a health directory with the aim of making providers from health, care, fitness and beauty visible under one brand.

Academic recognition
In the publication “Health as an innovative economic sector” by Dr. jur. Carl Hermann Schleifer, the Konrad Adenauer Foundation cites the McGesund definition of “creative health” as a defining source.

Academically anchored
„Or, as it is aptly defined at McGesund.de: ‘In a state of well-being in harmony with body and mind, the individual is in a condition to accomplish highly efficient performance and innovation in professional and social life.’"
Preserving the history
Deliberately preserved source articles
Two articles from McGesund's early years have since been linked as citations in German-language Wikipedia articles. We deliberately preserve the original wording of these German-language source articles so that the statements cited there remain verifiable in the future — substance over updating, where source fidelity matters.
unchanged since 2011
Drugs and their effect on health
Citation no. 5 of 168 references — an early defining source in the section on etymology and conceptual development.
original version preserved
Cycling and health
In the health section, it supports the statement “Cycling promotes fitness and serves cardiovascular training”.
What sets us apart from competitors
Three layers
Verification with a system
QR codes on site, geolocation at the moment of submission and cryptographic signatures — Ed25519 plus post-quantum-resistant methods (Falcon-512/1024, ML-DSA-87 or dual-PQ), anchored in the Bitcoin blockchain.
Care specifics
More than a directory
With McGesund Signals, care facilities record complaints, praise and incidents relevant to supervisory authorities or quality reports to higher-level bodies — in a structured way. Not a generic review portal, but industry-specific tooling.
