New tool on WebMD health search delivers tailored results

New tool on WebMD health search delivers tailored results
WebMD has added Health Scan, a compliment to its new health search platform, it reports. In addition to search results from WebMD and across the Internet, health search users will see Health Scan, which provides at-a-glance information for more than 800 of the most frequently searched health terms. The information is categorized by condition types, medications, tests, related conditions, and patient communities. For example, typing "migraine" into the health search will yield a Health Scan box containing a link to WebMD's headache and migraine homepage and drop-down menus listing medical tests that are performed on migraine sufferers, related conditions, and medications that can be used to treat migraines. Selecting any of the topics from the menus will take the user to more information about that topic. WebMD is in the process of relaunching its WebMD Health portal.
