'HealthBase': A Medical-related Search Engine Released For NetBase - - To Collect Information and Data in Health Area

With the exponential growth of the Web, it became difficult to index the information. The HTML language, which popularized the Web and it is used by most of the sites, doesn’t possess resources to allow attributing “meaning” to the information. The HTML tags are very limited in that sense. They just describe as the page should be exhibited and they don’t offer any description of the data.

To improve the indexation, there are necessary more select categories than allow searching with efficiency, in the ocean of available data which is the Internet, allowing to an internet user find what really interests him in a right context.

It is for that reason that semantic technologies are being developed. The traditional searches accomplished now bring their results based in key-word supplied by the user, that later does the filtering of the information.

Through a research with semantic technologies, it is possible to a internet user make a question to asearch engine that, understanding the semantics of each concept, their relationships and combining them, interprets the meaning of the question and search for the most more precise answer to his question.

The application of those technologies in the health area is limitless. That knowledge (as well as many other) area obtains countless benefits for the adoption of those technologies because they help to improve the cooperation, the researches and development, bringing innovations that will allow the optimization and simplification of processes in the health area.

Thinking about that and also in the enlargement of the base of knowledge and in the possibility of manipulating those information in a more accessible way, it is that HealthBase was created – a medical search and discovery application.

HealthBase is a content intelligence platform that was released recently for NetBase Solutions. The proposal of that platform is to offer to the doctors, patients and researchers select information on the most several types of problem in the health area.

Without a doubt this it is a great innovation that will bring countless benefits for the Medicine.
