Searching for Health Information Online Dangerous [Highlight HEALTH]
2008-02-23 05:52:00 Approximately eight million Americans search for health information online every day [1]. However, the information those health seekers are reading may not be very healthy at all. A new study by the Center for Medicine in the Public Interest recently reported that the information prominently displayed in search engine results was not only misleading and confusing, but dangerous for patients [2]. Case in point: using two safe and effective prescription medications (Crestor and Avandia) as an example, nearly 65% of the first three pages of Google search results came from sites that were biased or contained unverified information. Add to this the fact that most search engine users click on a result within the first three pages of search results [3] and people searching for health information online are likely to be viewing websites that aren’t credible or trustworthy. At Highlight HEALTH 2.0, guest writer Matthew Krajewski focuses on the importance of information categorization a... More About: Health , Information , Online , Searching

Health Web 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 [Highlight HEALTH 2.0]
2008-02-22 05:50:00 This article was written by Matthew Krajewski. If Web 1.0 was about being told what the best information for you was (like the flat top 10 results on Yahoo! or Google), then Web 2.0 is about giving more control to the individual and inviting them to participate in the world of information. Letting users start conversations or organizing information to the benefit of the end user are two outputs of the Web 2.0 evolution. So what is Web 3.0? An article in ReadWriteWeb recently attempted to define Web 3.0, the semantic web based on personalization and recommendation. Web 3.0 may become quite adept at trying to algorithmically match you romantically, like a modern version of the 1950s board game Mystery Date, and some companies have already made significant headway in recommendation and personalization, such as Pandora and their music recommendation jukebox-like interface. Will health ever benefit from the semantic web? Perhaps. Nothing is impossible, but it’s hard to imagine a com... More About: Health , Highlight
