Healthline.com offers a “taxonomy-driven Medically Guided Search platform” to provide intelligent health information to individuals. Derived from several medical databases, their semantic taxonomy is unique because it connects interrelated concepts when searching. Moreover, the site’s Health Channels provide links to information regarding the 200 most-searched health topics, while the Health Experts section provides blogs from top US medical experts. Another valuable feature from Healthline is the use of “Trust Marks” to signify that a Healthline article has been accredited by a leading online accreditation agency.
