title: A trend map for e-health information.
abstract: Health information of varying levels of quality is available and accessed on the web by patients and medical personnel, who base their decisions on the knowledge they find on the sites they visit. Providing a network map showing different types of sources for medical information is a powerful way to visualize the complex, overlapping web of information available to providers and consumers. We present a prototype map representing consumer e-health information web sites.
