Healia (http://www.healia.com/healia/) is a search engine designed to help consumers find high quality and personalized health information on the Web by using algorithms to assess quality and to categorize documents from sources such as MedlinePlus, PubMed and ClinicalTrials.gov. When you do a search on a specific disease, your results are displayed under TABs for All, Prevention, Causes/Risks, Symptoms, Diagnosis/Tests, and Treatments. You can refine your search by gender, age –kids, teens or seniors, heritage, reading level and more. Suggestions are given for more specific terms (as well as more general terms) to search.
