Medify analyzes free-form text from abstracts of articles in medical journals, and lets you filter them by patient type (gender or age, for example). Charts show you which studies are most relevant for your group, and also which are newest. The graphical language of Medify's charts is unique, but quickly learned.I went to the website and put in "sleep" as a symptom. Filtering the topic by age and gender was pretty straightforward. However, filtering by concomitant symptoms seemed to get pretty technical pretty fast ("Cheynes-Stokes Respirations" anyone?)
Take a look and tell me what you think. Is this a useful tool for persons who don't have a health-care background?
