About the Name EGESTABASE

The name for our evidence platform emerged as combination of the terms egesta and database. The term egesta refers to ‘Matter digested from the body, as excrement or other waste’ (dictionary.com). Our use of the term is inspired by the Egesta Lab at the University of British Columbia. As suggested by Dr. Gunilla Öberg of the Egesta Lab, the term egesta is not tied to a certain way of thinking and thus invites us to re-frame challenges and opportunities as well as re-imagine workable solutions.
