NetBase Launches Semantic Search Showcase for Health
NetBase Launches Public Showcase of Content Intelligence that Finds Answers to Health Questions From Millions of Health Sources
Mountain View, Calif., September 2, 2009—NetBase Solutions, Inc. today launched healthBase (healthbase.netbase.com), a public showcase of NetBase's Content Intelligence platform, which is able to read sentences inside documents, linguistically understand the meaning and power breakthrough search and discovery solutions.
healthBase is the first example of Content Intelligence that is open and available to the public. The showcase uses Content Intelligence technology to automatically find treatments for any health condition or disease; pros and cons of any treatment, medication and food, and more. Like all NetBase-powered applications, healthBase enables users to get summarized answers and insights automatically from millions of online sources.
healthBase demonstrates NetBase's market-leading technology by providing simple and comprehensive answers to health questions like:
What are the available treatments for diabetes? Try it here
What are the different causes of hypertension? Try it here
What are the complications of hypertension? Try it here
What are the treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome? Try it here
What are the pros and cons of steroid injection (to treat carpal tunnel syndrome)? Try it here
Each question takes seconds to answer and is equivalent to someone manually reading thousands of documents. As no manual work is required to build the semantic index, healthBase can search on and find answers to tens of thousands of health conditions, diseases, treatments, medications, supplements, foods and even plants.
"healthBase is a public showcase of NetBase's Content Intelligence platform and is designed to illustrate how our semantic search technology can be used to power innovative search and discovery applications." said Jens Tellefsen, VP of Marketing and Product Strategy at NetBase Solutions, Inc.
