Healthline Networks offers the easiest way for consumers to quickly and easily find consistently excellent health information on the Web. By utilizing its robust search and navigation platform, Healthline is focused on becoming the global leader in intelligent health information services, enabling consumers to make more confident, informed decisions about their health. Healthline’s taxonomy-driven Medically Guided Search platform provides consumers and business partners with a powerful portfolio of online health search, content, and navigation services. This “semantic taxonomy” – the only one of its kind currently in existence – is built from multiple medical databases and uniquely connects interrelated concepts to provide a semantic organization and contextual presentation of health-related information. The search platform, developed in conjunction with physicians and maintained by a team of medical informatics specialists, includes a terminology database of over one million medical terms and consumer-friendly synonyms, as well as 70,000 medical concepts that include diseases, conditions, causes, symptoms, diagnoses, treatments and other medically relevant attributes. The taxonomy gives unparalleled structure and organization to health-related information by defining and specifying interrelationships and properties.
