Towards an open, trustworthy and multilingual search engine for medical practitioners: News from the European Khresmoi project

Medical practitioners often have unmet information needs that impact patient care. However,<br> currently available web-based search engines are not suitable for routine use. Finding relevant<br> information takes too long, assessing the trustworthiness of found information is difficult, and<br> support for the heterogeneity of languages and nomenclature across European countries is lacking.<br> In this paper, we analyze the current barriers to web-based searching by medical practitioners and<br> introduce the European Khresmoi project, which aims to dismantle these barriers.
