infoMedMD: Founded by Dr. Joseph Bentivegna, infoMedMD is an online tool that provides personalized medical
information based on a series of questions that analyzes you and your symptoms. There are more than 100 of these questionnaires, or INFOMEDS, that deal with a wide range of health issues. In addition to symptom checkers, there are also screening tests and prognosis evaluators. After answering 15-20 questions, the user is presented with a detailed explanation the symptoms, their possible causes and methods of treatment, all based on the answers and preferences that the user provides. While this should not replace an actual medical consultation, of course, infoMedMD is a unique and useful tool for getting quick answers to your health-related questions.
