I developed and manage a web site that deals with health care standards. One of the features that I threw in to the site was the ability to fetch health-related news articles from a handful of news sources, so that there’s a rolling “top stories” section.
The weird part is that I also extract keywords from the site — usually keywords that the original news source originally identified. And I have a tag cloud that shows me the relative importance of those keywords over the last three months.
As of today, I’m currently seeing the following top keywords:
- cancer
- children
- doctors
- drugs
- health care
- medicine
- mental health
- obesity
- ontario
- research
- workout
There’s a part of me that’s just boggled that obesity is on this list and, say, HIV isn’t.
