More Health Search

A Checkup of Online Health Sites by Paula J. Hane, ITI Newslink (Mar 1)

Many new health portals and resources have come to the Web.

"EverydayHealth.com came out of its beta version. Healthline.com launched a new Symptom Search feature. A startup from Steve Case, Revolution Health, is providing previews of its new site. TauMed is a recently launched search engine and health portal. (Disclaimer—I have not done extensive testing on these sites so I can't provide recommendations or comparisons.)"

Not to forget old favourites, Hane reminds us a few of the well established resoures: U.S. National Institutes of Health (http://health.nih.gov), MedlinePlus from the National Library of Medicine (www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus), the MayoClinic.com site, and WebMD.
