NewsRx Network Chosen As Source For 'Information Therapy'.

2001 MAY 24 - (NewsRx Network) -- NewsRx Network, Atlanta, Georgia, the leading provider of life science databases and daily and weekly health news, now is a major source for "information therapy."

NewsRx databases are derived from medical conferences and over 3,000 peer-reviewed medical and scientific journals, including 6,000 medical articles published worldwide each week.

NewsRx Network has been named Official Online News Source for eHealthcareWorld 2001 San Diego, May 23-25, this year's leading conference on the convergence of the Internet and emerging technologies on the healthcare industry. This is the fourth time NewsRx has received this designation from eHealthcareWorld.

NewsRx.net is innovative because users receive a current, organized, printable report on their specific topic of interest. This new and unique medical research service is based on proprietary NewsRx component aggregation technology (CAT). No other Internet site has this capability.

"Recent research shows that consumers who go online for medical information visit physicians and hospital emergency rooms less often," said Charles Henderson, NewsRx CEO. "Information therapy now is becoming part of patient treatment, with NewsRx.net providing actual reports, which can be printed out by patients or provided to them by their doctor or hospital," he said.

"The reports can be used to update and inform the complete information therapy 'P-triad': patients, practitioners, and pharmaceutical professionals," Henderson said.

The NewsRx.net reports contain indexes and full source citations, and are updated each quarter as new information becomes available. Most topics have several niche reports to choose from, allowing information therapy seekers to select the exact report they need. There are over 10,000 in all.
