Praxeon launches Google Health integrated service

New Integrated Service Helps Consumers Find Relevant Health News and Blogs Related to Their Medical Information

Boston, MA – May 20, 2008 – Praxeon, Inc. announced today that its consumer health news and search site, MyDailyApple^TM (www.mydailyapple.com), is now available as an integrated service on the Google Health platform. Google Health is a new product that was launched today at a media event in Mountain View, California that allows users to store, organize, and manage their medical records online. The new Praxeon service gives Google Health users access to health news, blogs, and research information from the most trusted sources along with the ability to personalize that information to individuals’ health profiles.

“Google Health is a personal health service that paves the way towards consumer involvement and accountability,” said Kevin Cronin, CEO of Praxeon. “And MyDailyApple provides Google Health’s users with relevant and personalized health information so that users can be fully engaged in managing their own health.”

MyDailyApple uses data from an individual’s Google Health profile, upon their consent, to provide relevant health content that is personalized to their own health conditions or medications. MyDailyApple gives Google Health users pertinent, current health information from sources that are matched by medical relevance and by measures of community popularity. This combination of sophisticated health search technology and active user input leads to a richer, more informed, personalized health experience, driven by the most trustworthy health news and information.

“Praxeon's patent-pending semantic fingerprinting, natural language query and profile-based filtering technology is what sets Praxeon apart from other health information and search companies,” said Dennis Underwood, Chief Scientific Officer of Praxeon. “That technology powers Praxeon's top-rated health news and search products — MyDailyApple^TM for consumers and Curbside.MD^TM for healthcare providers — and delivers intelligent, organized and personalized answers to health questions.”

Praxeon’s sophisticated technology is revolutionizing the way people get health care information. Praxeon’s products have been extensively tested and validated by healthcare providers and by more than 20 health advocacy groups.  In 2007, Praxeon was voted “Best Health Search Company” at the Health 2.0 Conference in San Francisco, CA.
