Welcome to Informed Health Online
Would you like to know what health care treatments really work? Researchers around the world are working hard to find answers to your questions. You can find the results of their work here at Informed Health Online.org .
Informed Health Online is published by IQWiG, the German Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care. The Institute was established by the German Parliament to provide independent scientific advice to the healthcare system.
Our goal is to provide you with information that could help you make informed decisions about your health. To do that, we do a thorough search for studies that have fairly and rigorously tested the effects of treatments. This is a key part of evidence-based medicine or health care. It is often called "EBM” for short. If you would like to learn more about how researchers can test whether or not a treatment works, you can also do this at Informed Health Online.
You can also read patients' stories about their experiences of the treatments.
Let's start with the health information.
Here you can find the topics we cover sorted from A to Z or in topic areas.
Of course you can search the whole website directly by typing a topic into the search box.
The body picture is another way to see what information we have.
This shows you what information we have that affects a particular part of the body. We hope our information is helpful for you.
