About Healthline
Healthline is the fastest and easiest way to find, understand and manage information about consumer health. Our mission is to empower health information seekers by providing them with an innovative and unique guided search experience - one based on trust, comprehensiveness, contextual relevancy, personalization, and interactivity.
Our History
Healthline was founded in 1999 as YourDoctor.com by James Norman, M.D., whose vision was to use the Internet to offer consumers the most accurate, relevant healthcare information available. During this time, the company retained the services of more than 1,100 physicians, specialists and medical editors to write and edit original consumer-oriented information focusing on diseases and conditions. These medical professionals helped develop the two components that form the foundation of Healthline.com: a medical taxonomy to organize the content, including an 800,000-word synonym database to map everyday language to medical terminology; and HealthMaps, visual tools designed to provide information in a map format to help users navigate through the many different aspects of a disease or condition.
In 2002, the company introduced its first version of the Healthline search platform on Merck & Company's MerckSource website, and has subsequently powered enterprise-level applications for PacifiCare, Henry Ford Hospital and Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, among others. The company was re-launched as Healthline in October 2005, offering consumers the first-ever Medically Guided Search
