iMedisearch

http://www.imedisearch.com/

iMedisearch was originally developed as an extension of features of a pharmacist's clinical resources website - RPhWorld. It was developed out of needs to search pharmacists' trusted and reliable online resources without having to go through each of the websites one at a time. The author, a clinical pharmacist, personally tested this new search engine in his practice and found that it returns much more relevant results compared with the traditional Google. The search engine seems to know that the user is a pharmacist by returning results a pharmacist would be interested in such as drug information and continuing education. This engine was shared with colleagues and with other pharmacists on RPhWorld.com. The feedbacks were overwhelmingly positive.

These encouraging feedbacks lead to further development of the search module for physicians, then one for patients or the general public, and eventually one for nurses and allied healths.
