Access to the right information is critical for warding off diseases or managing them. Equally it can be exasperating to find an information overload and it can be arduous to filter through the surfeit of information available. Patients have a hard time coping with their illness as well as coming to terms with medical terminology - jargon. Information is plentiful in the Internet. But it takes quite a bit of effort to narrow it down to the right information. Even if you drill down to the right information, the language and the way the information is presented makes it a laborious task to digest the information.
