iMedix is a health search engine and social network service that was founded in 2006 by Amir Leitersdorf and Iri Amirav in the United States, with its R&D based in Herzeliya, Israel. It utilizes advanced proprietary algorithms to provide information in response to medical questions and concerns.
On May 18, 2011, AVG Technologies acquired iMedix Web Technologies Ltd., aiming for "the integration of iMedix software with the Company’s existing solutions."[1] After shutting down sometime after February 2012, the website was reactivated in 2014 and has been operational since then.
Service and technology
Initially offering a combination of a health search engine and a collaborative community platform, iMedix has evolved to continue serving as a valuable resource for individuals seeking health-related knowledge and advice.
Reception
iMedix was recognized as one of PCWorld's 100 Incredibly Useful and Interesting Web Sites in 2008.[2] It has maintained its significance in the online health community since its reactivation.
