  1. SwetsWise Medical Searcher Powered by Explorit Research Accelerator • By Abe Lederman • President and CTO • July 15, 2012

  2. Healthcare’s Heartbeat • There are 3 billion terabytes of information out there. • There are 700,000 articles added to the medical literature every year. • With better search tools, 275 million improved decisions could be made. • Clinicians spend 1/3 of their time looking for information.

  3. A Compelling Case “Wikipedia…it’s so easy to retrieve information from. But doctors are now starting to use that instead of the best evidence-based sources out there to find answers to their questions. So we need better information management and search tools, to curate the most valuable sources that are out there.” Dr. Karl Kochendorfer TEDX MU, April 23, 2012 Topic: Seek and Ye Shall Find

  4. What is the Deep Web? The Deep Web is a collection of internet information sources that are generally not accessible to web spiders or crawlers and cannot, therefore, be indexed for search by popular search engines such as Google, Yahoo! or Bing (a.k.a. the Surface Web).

  5. Surface Web Wikipedia Google Deep Web General Clinical Information Organization-specific Information Subscription Information Nursing References Medical Journals It is estimated that there is more than 500 times more content in the Deep Web than the Surface Web.

  6. What is “Federated Search”? “Federated Search is an application or service that allows users to submit a real-time search in parallel to multiple, distributed information sources and retrieve aggregated, ranked and de-duplicated results.”

  7. One Search, Many Sources OPACs Online Nursing References Social Media eBooks Clinical Trials Enter Your Search… Begin Search Health Resources Public Web Sources Medical Journals

  8. Why Federated Search? 4 Big Reasons… • Provides greater efficiency than searching sources one by one • Returns the most current information because sources are searched in real-time • Eliminates learning disparate publisher interfaces • Simplifies discovery of the most relevant results
