Earlier in the summer I posted about InfoMed MD, a website that provides personal answers to medical questions. Users complete a short, interactive questionnaire after which the system provides useful advice. There are a variety of InfoMeds available and the list is growing. Some examples include:

  • Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Screening
  • Contact Lens Irritation
  • Erectile Dysfunction
  • Stroke Symptoms
  • Vasectomy

What I especially like about the site is that the output is well thought out and informative. The information is much better than the typical handouts you get on these topics.Last time I looked the site was charging $6.95 per InfoMed, and even though that's not unreasonable I thought it would deter users. That's changed now. With only a few exceptions the InfoMeds are now free. A few are listed at $6.95 and the Vasectomy InfoMed is $20.Click here to see a screencast of me taking the Dog Bite InfoMed.
