Curehunter.com - Find Cures

Disease is an ugly word. The mere utterance of the term is likely to bring shudders, a quick prayer or two, and perhaps a google search. Cure is a much more palatable word and it’s the idea behind the new site Curehunter. Curehunter is a semantic search engine/ medical dictionary that gives you visual, interactive results. It’ll essentially find cures for terms you provide in the search. Type in flu for example, and you’ll be asked to specify the disease, after which Curehunter will take you to the results—hundreds of articles, studies, trials on various cures or drugs for the flu. This may only be useful for doctors and scientists as the information can be overwhelming and hard to understand. For the average user, Curehunter’s medical dictionary may do the trick. Type in the term and you’ll get a definition, as well as a visual tree of similar and related terms. Best of all, it’s free.

"The CureHunter Discovery Engine is the world's only fully unified and integrated numeric index of all known drugs, biologically active agents, diseases and empirical statements of all effective clinical outcomes published in the United States National Library of Medicine."

The Curehunter is a great tool for med students, nurses, lawyers and people looking to understand their health. It’s easy to use and provides visual results that helps research further along.

Can Curehunter actually find cures? Will your average Joe find use for it? Will this provide the comprehensive results users are looking for?
