Healthline Search Engine Launches

Posted on October 24, 2005

Healthline has launched as a health search engine and resource. The search engine provides results from health-related websites only. Here is a list of a few of Healthline's other features.

  • HealthMaps which enable users to visually explore all of the information related to a disease, drug or condition without the need to repeatedly type new queries into the search box.
  • A consumer health taxonomy comprised of more than 800,000 medical terms and synonyms
  • 200 topically-focused health channels

    Heathline also recently debuted a feature called Flu Central that helps you locate flu clinics by zip code. Flu Central also includes a U.S. map of flu outbreaks. Heathline says Flu Central will also includes news about bird flu.

    Designed to provide a one-stop resource for consumer health information related to influenza, Healthline's Flu Central provides up-to-date news and medical articles about the flu - including the H5N1 avian flu virus - and a U.S. flu shot locator to search for the dates, times and locations of more than 25,000 clinics where consumers can get vaccinated.
