Bing Health

Posted on by

Bing, the popular search engine, has launched Bing Health to allow users to quickly find relevant information and make better decisions. As a healthcare topic is searched, Bing finds other helpful and related topics or questions that may aide in research including medical conditions, facilities, symptoms and medications.

Searching a facility will result in a display of patient rating information collected for the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) that compares this hospital to the state average.

Pillbox

Posted on by

Pillbox was developed to aid in the identification of unknown solid dosage pharmaceuticals. The system combines high-resolution images of tablets and capsules with appearance information (imprint, shape, color, etc.) to enable users to visually search for and identify an unknown solid dosage pharmaceutical.

The system enables users to identify solid dosage forms based on physical criteria: imprint (characters or number printed on a medication), shape, color, size, and scoring. Users are shown thumbnail images of possible matches. These images are continually updated as the user enters additional information.

Once a solid dosage form has been identified, additional information is provided, including brand/generic name, ingredients, and the National Drug File identification number. Links are provided to NLM drug information resources, such as drug labels (DailyMed) and the Drug Information Portal, which searches all NLM drug information resources.
