Initially known for its online Check-Up – the first ever online symptom assessment tool for consumers – the site has now been redeveloped for greater clarity and organizes all programs under two major categories: Health Info and Self-care Tools. 

The GlobalMedic site has now been redeveloped for greater clarity and organizes all programs under two major categories: Health Info and Self-care Tools.

Self-Care Tools is the technology-based area for interactive and expert system based applications. Among those is the Health Quiz, a user friendly application that evaluates people’s lifestyle habits in various fields and provides a personal profile complete with well- tough-out recommendations. The Heath Quiz covers areas such as stress, healthy heart, nutrition, and many more. All Health quizzes
address personal factors and help users become more aware of their lifestyle habits, their risk for certain health problems, and the key role they can play in enhancing their health and well-being.

GlobalMedic CheckUp comprises comprehensive kids’, women’s and men’s interactive medical check-ups, and each health category in each check up is linked to relevant health information within the site. To provide more accurate assessments and targeted information to parents, the new Kids’ CheckUp offers a consultation based on fever and non fever-based symptoms. 

The Health Info area is dedicated to meaningful health education. A full health Encyclopedia of more than 4,000 medical terms is built around easy categories that go beyond definitions and address the question of treatment and prevention. The Drug Book is a comprehensive drug data base that features an intelligent search-by-generic and search-by-brand name. It delivers information on drug composition, interactions and side effects, plus complete dosage and application directions. The First Aid section presents How urgent is my problem?, an intelligent questionnaire on the urgency factor, enabling better first aid response. Additional resources deliver sound and reliable information on a number of topics from burns and blisters to strains and sprains.

The new home page features a Health News component in partnership with HealthScout, a provider of personalized health news on the Net. The co-branded news portion guides the user to readable, reliable and relevant health news items. In the coming weeks GlobalMedic will add additional programs on emotional issues and general health information. Work is in progress to deliver for the first time an electronic version of the renowned Healthwise Handbook, both in English and French. 

GlobalMedic also uses its web site as a window for its corporate product: the Health & Wellness Companion. The Health & Wellness Companion is an integrated solution for corporations offering personalized applications, data collecting tools to assess employee health, and quantitative reports to measure the performance of wellness programs. Health and wellness managers learn all
about this product through an online business presentation available through the Corporate Solution link. 

GlobalMedic is also the health anchor tenant on the new Altavista.ca. and  an AOL partner with the GlobalMedic Health Center on AOL Canada (AOL keyword: globalmedic).
