Medstory Beta

Medstory_beta_home.gifMedstory is an interesting new search engine that offers “Intelligent Search for Health & Medicine.” When I ran a search on “diabetes,” Medstory generated at the top of the results “Information that Matters” — specific categories of information regarding diabetes, including Drugs and Substances, Conditions, Procedures, In Clinical Studies, Complementary Medicine, Personal Health, and People. Each of these categories has five related topics on which you can click to narrow your search further. Beneath these categories are the Web results, which allow you to narrow your results to specific types of information, such as news, audio/video, clinical trials, or research articles. And there is even an RSS feed for each search. Inasmuch as speed and focus is the name of the game these days in search engines, Medstory looks to be a very promising addition to the medical search field. Hat tip to Tom Mighell for the link.
