Vertical Search for Health Gets Sexy

Positioned somewhere between being a search engine and a content provider is Healthline, which allows access to search results either via the standard word search or via its HealthMaps. Really astute eHealth observers will remember not one but two earlier versions of the company, YourDoctor.com and InterMap Systems. Healthline was re-launched in late 2005 with a $14m venture capital recapitalization -- including funding from its original backer, VantagePoint Venture Partners.
