Who We Serve

Semedica's clients include professional societies and other non-profit organizations, commercial publishers, and government health care agencies. Our applications can be used as a complete end-to-end solution, or as part of an existing technology group.

Common attributes of our clients are that they:

• Recognize the value in creating, managing, and applying semantic metadata to their key content.
• Are dissatisfied with the limitations of purely automated strategies for driving discoverability and reuse of their research materials.
• Have found that existing medical taxonomies do not provide the balance between domain specificity, overall breadth, and standards for interoperability that is best for their content.
• Generate large amounts of high-value content that they plan to repurpose in the future.
• Want interoperability for their information, so that it can be used in conjunction with other information retrieval systems and databases.
• Attract demanding professional subscribers that place value on being able to find the right information quickly.
• Want to build loyalty among researchers, clinicians, and academic centers through providing a compelling search experience—one that considers the context and meaning of a query and which allows the searcher to navigate through related concepts.
• Want to dynamically create new content compilations from sections of books, journals, or other publications in a way that is tailored to the searcher's needs.
• Want to analyze their published content to indentify concept gaps and opportunities for new content and products.
