The workshop brought together 40 researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to discuss search and discovery in the medical domain. Presentations and discussions spanned several challenging and important topics, including directions improving the accessibility of medical and health information for lay people (with associated enhancements to result ranking algorithms and search interfaces), and methods for discovering biomedical phenomena from the information that people seek online, as evidenced in query streams and other sources such as social and news media. A thread throughout the workshop was the opportunity for new methods and applications to enhance the quality of life of people suffering from medical disorders, carry out surveillance of emerging diseases and other threats, and, more generally, to improve the health and well-being of people via tools to support their health-related information behavior.
