iMedisearch – Search Engine for Reliable Medical Information
http://www.imedisearch.com/
iMedisearch was originally developed as an extension of features of a pharmacist’s clinical resources website – RPhWorld. It was developed out of needs to search pharmacists’ trusted and reliable online resources without having to go through each of the websites one at a time. The author, a clinical pharmacist, personally tested this new search engine in his practice and found that it returns much more relevant results compared with the traditional Google. The search engine seems to know that the user is a pharmacist by returning results a pharmacist would be interested in such as drug information and continuing education. This engine was shared with colleagues and with other pharmacists on RPhWorld.com. The feedbacks were overwhelmingly positive. These encouraging feedbacks lead to further development of the search module for physicians, then one for patients or the general public, and eventually one for nurses and allied healths. iMedisearch is an independent entity. They are neither funded nor supported by any third party. However, they do collaborate with HON in providing their users with iMedisearch/HON Toolbar. We also host Google sponsored ads. We do not have control over Google ads content, and our editorial content and the search results are free of any commercial influence. The Google ads contents are distinguished from other contents by the word “Ads by Google”. They aim to make this search engine as robust and userfriendly as possible. This will be added to Healthcare Resources Subject Tracer™. This will be added to the eHealthcareBot script resources.
