Usage Tips on Athena

Disclaimer: The Health information provided here are for a general guidance only. This page contains general information related to health and disease in one place.These pages do not purport to contain exhaustive medical advice. They have been collated from many sources and rewritten in most instances. The team who spent hours poring over the vast amount of health related information included a medical fraternity. However, the large scale collection of data, collating and editing can result in some inaccuracies and errors creeping in despite the best efforts. Athena does not seek to become a Virtual Online Medical consultant. Athena acts the role of an intelligent guide in health related issues. Consult your medical professional for their professional advice.

Brief Words about Athena and her Capabilities:
Athena as she remains now boasts of over 25,000 pages - of content related to health topics. Athena covers diseases and ailments in general along with their symptoms. Most of the time, Athena will also give some idea about the probable drugs or avenue of treatment available for the indicated disease. Athena could deliver lucid content of about 300 words or greater typically on almost any health topic.

Athena is just not for Health related topics alone. She is perfectly capable of delivering content for any subject under the sun. She comes in two flavors:
1. Total Content Delivery Solution: As it is deployed here, Athena can decide directly what is expected of her and deliver contents using a custom designed database as her knowledge base.
2. Precanned Version: For limited edition application - where Athena is invoked from a server to deliver contents based on a limited set of criteria and the resulting pages saved as static HTML pages eventually deployed from any standard server.

If you have any queries or suggestions or wish to use Athena for your commercial applications, use the contact link from above.

You start with a search box in all the pages of Athena. Remember that Athena is a tool primarily targeted at delivering relevant information about health issues. It needs to know what you are after. So if you seek to know about Breast Cancer then type that phrase into the search box, whereupon, Athena sets out to dig through its database for information on this topic. It looks at the probable occurrence of the phrase and also its ramifications, its nuances and its logical extension amongst others. It collects data on each of these and collates them together into a page. In other words, Athena looks for logical extension of the supplied phrase and tries its best to write content. If you use language precisely as a surgeon uses his scalpel, it can deliver precise information. If you are vague, it tries to guess what you seek by some very specific algorithm to extract the true meaning.

In our above example, Athena looks at the keyed in phrase - Breast Cancer - ( Athena is not case sensitive) and decides that you are looking for the following:

1. Risk Factors associated with Breast Cancer

2. Breast cancer Symptoms

3. Mammography or other tests

4. Treatment for Breast cancer in brief

5. Tips to avoid Breast cancer

6. Fibrocystic Breast Disease

7. Lung Cancer

The last is added as Athena thinks that information about Cancer of the mid region is relevant here.

The links provided in a page are inducted by a separate random keyword generator. The content may or may not have adequate granularity. In other words, the ensuing content may be the same for similar keyword phrases. Best way to test the capability of Athena, would be to type your queries in the box provided as it has better way of interacting with you.

Epilogue: This is not the last word - yet. We would appreciate your inputs about this project Athena.
