Re: Additional enumerations for HealthAspectEnumeration schema

Thanks Brendan, it’s a really good point.

We’ve found that pregnancy and breastfeeding are generally treated separately for medicines information. For example, in a medicine leaflet there tends to be a section on contraindication and a separate one on pregnancy/breastfeeding.

I suppose within the SuitabilityAspect pregnancy could be mentioned as a reason not to take a drug but having a separate pregnancy enumeration would allow us to provide advice for those who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

It might mean you end up with an unmanageable list of enumerations but we’ve not yet come across any others like this within our content.

Thanks again,

James

I'm definitely not an expert on this stuff, but isn't pregnancy just another type of SuitabilityAspect?

Some drugs/treatments aren't suitable for people who are pregnant, are breastfeeding mothers, are children, have heart conditions, are taking other medication, etc... those all sound like types of suitability to me.

If you want to enumerate all the different groups which may or may not be suitable for a given treatment, that sounds like a different dimension.

Just a quick thought...

Brendan.

Hi all,

We have successfully added the HealthAspectEnumeration (https://schema.org/HealthAspectEnumeration) schema to our conditions content on the NHS website (www.nhs.uk<http://www.nhs.uk>) as we wanted to modularise our content in a less granular way than MedicalCondition.

We are now adding the same schema to our medicines content using OverviewHealthAspect, UsageOrScheduleHealthAspect, SideEffectsHealthAspect and LivingWithHealthAspect but there are additional enumerations we would like to introduce. It would be good to get your input on the following additions:


  *   SuitabilityHealthAspect - Who can and cannot take, use or have a topic.
Example: If children can take a particular medicine, or if there are any medical conditions that mean you cannot take it.
  *   WarningHealthAspect - Key information and warnings specific to a topic.
Example: A key warning for a blood-thinning medicine would be the increased risk of severe bleeding.
  *   PregnancyHealthAspect - Advice about a topic for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Example: If a medicine can be taken while pregnant or breastfeeding.
  *   InteractionsHealthAspect - Medicines and remedies that may interact with a topic.
Example: Other medicines a person should avoid because they might affect how a medicine they’re currently taking works, or increase the risk of side effects.

Any thoughts will be appreciated.

Many Thanks,

James
