Hypochondriacs or concerns about your health - we have a line for you.
It turns out that there is a smarter and more efficient way to look for information about medical conditions without the search intensifying the anxiety but giving it true results.
You're probably familiar with the following situation.
You feel a small headache popping up towards the evening hours, when there is no doctor available.
To save yourself, you run to an urgent consultation with Dr. Google. From the results that come up, the warnings and diagnoses you read diagnose the pain as violent cancer or a symptom of an incurable disease. If until now you had a small headache, now you are in a hurry to the nearest emergency room.
To help with confusing situations, Medint Medical Intelligence Company, founded by outreach units 8200 and 81, offers a course aimed at teaching all the secrets and sophisticated methods of gathering reliable information online.
The course provides tools in the field of information gathering that are provided by veterans of the elite intelligence units in the IDF.
The course will teach the use of intelligence methods and a human resource network to arrive at up-to-date and accurate information, familiarity and use of medical information search strategies alongside knowledge of medical databases and reliable assessment of information sources and drawing correct conclusions.
The course as expected is intended for hypochondriacs but not only, also for patients with complex and difficult diagnoses who can find innovative research and treatments tailored to medical conditions, companies and associations, medical students and more.

Tanya Atias, the company's founder, gave us some tips: "When you want to search for reliable information there is a way to access specific forums, Facebook communities or groups with doctors that can be consulted immediately and for free. There are free apps and medical search engines that people are not aware of. "Through Google, simply in different forms. For example, if I want to look for gestational diabetes, then I will add more variables such as 'ninth month without being overweight' for example. There are ways to isolate the most appropriate results and more."
