Aching to know where that little pain in your back comes from? Hakia’s got your back.

You know what I am talking about right? Little red spot on your arm, wheezing sounds in your ear, you don’t want to- but you do it anyway- you look it up online, and are probably worst of because you did….Well, you have got one illness alright- it even has a scary sounding name  hypochondria or the more suited Cyberchondria.

So now there is a more credible source for all your self diagnosis pleasures. Ever since they have added 10 million PubMed articles and developed their “Credible online health search” program  Hakia could be your final destination.

Seriously though.  True hypocho’s already know where to look- Healia provides search into Pubmed for a while now.  But Hakia is adding a good solid natural language interface into the mix.

Which means you can ask it questions like “why do my ears bleed?” and it gives you good credible results- so you don’t have to waste your time in a crowded emergency room and you don’t miss tonight’s episode of House.

Having a natural language type of search engine specially for self-diagnosing pleasures could be the ultimate physician.  I can’t wait for it to respond to things like: “I have this ringing sound in my ear- and it starts around the time that my kids come home from school”
