Kosmix launches RightHealth, for health info on the fly
Kosmix, the search engine company started by the guys who once almost bought Google when it was a year old, has unleashed a new health site, called RightHealth.
It organizes a large number of information sources into pages that are generally clear, concise, and easy to navigate, says David Hamilton, of VentureBeat LifeSciences, who reviews the site today. David concludes:
“RightHealth won’t find you a doctor, manage your medical bills or save you from the heartbreak of psoriasis, but it does a pretty decent job presenting often-complex medical information in a useful fashion. I may even start using it as a professional resource, which is more than I can say for any other health site I’ve ever looked at.”
See David’s full review here, where he compares with other sites like Healia and Healthline.
