Cybrarian Service: Traditional medical librarians have always acted as pointers or guides to the information within their collections. HealthWorld Onlines's innovative Cybrarian Service strives to do the same thing for users on the Internet. Acting as an individual’s personal "search engine," the Cybrarian will gather bibliographic citations, suggest helpful URL's, and annotate documents that would be helpful to you.

Laboratory Services: Lab tests may be ordered online directly by the consumer, allowing the consumer to be more proactive in addressing their specific health concerns. Tests results can be shared with their health professional if tests show any abnormalities. Tests offered include wellness blood profile, PSA test, drug tests, and salivary hormone tests.

The Internet: Doctor of the Future?
In providing comprehensive health information, products and services to consumers and health professionals through direct Internet access and to employee groups and HMO subscribers through corporate intranets, the Internet is postioned to greatly improve the delivery of health information worldwide and to provide the resources to help individuals design a wellness-based lifestyle. Is the Internet the “Doctor of the Future” prophesized by Thomas Edison? Probably not. Technology will never replace the human element of healing. However, as an interactive agent for promoting Self-Managed Care, the Internet will act as a “Doctor of the Future” as the most direct and effective means of achieving Edison’s goals of educating patients in the maintenance of the human frame, in diet and in the prevention of disease.
