Health Portals Websites that offer medical and health information for laymen. Usually lots of textual description and no underlying data model. Rough classification in symptoms and diseases which is not always consistent. Most sites offer text-based search functionality.

German only: gesundheit.com (1/5) : Index of symptoms with lists of potential causes Symptomat (2/5): Wiki like platform for symptoms, diseases, treatments, drugs PharmaWiki (3/5): Wiki on pharmaceutical substances and diseases

English: MedicineNet (?/5): SymptomChecker, Diseases & Conditions, Lexikon
