          FOSTER CITY, Calif., Dec. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Information Access
Company
(IAC) today announced the addition of the Health & Wellness InSite(SM)
information service to IAC InSite(SM), its suite of information products on
the Internet. The IAC InSite suite is acknowledged as one of the most
easy-to-use, popular business research products available on the Internet.
Unlike other specialized health information products, Health & Wellness
InSite
is the world's first integrated information service to offer authoritative
content from a broad range of sources. It has practical applications in
business and the health and medical community -- and for health information
seekers everywhere.
          "Health & Wellness InSite offers users a single, comprehensive
source of
reputable information about health, medicine, fitness, and nutrition
unmatched
anywhere else on the Internet," Paul O'Brien, General Manager of IAC's
Corporate Division, said. "Whether you're tracking consumer health trends,
looking for an overview of a disease or medical condition, or searching for a
simplified summary of a complex medical article, Health & Wellness InSite is
a
powerful information service for health practitioners, industry and product
analysts, and health-conscious patients exploring wellness, care, and
treatment options. The product's strong emphasis on easily accessible
consumer
information makes it ideal for non-technical professionals who need to
evaluate and report on critical developments in any field of health," he
added.
          Integrated, Authoritative, and Comprehensive
    Health & Wellness InSite offers users a fully integrated research product
-- with information sources as diverse as medical journals and pamphlets,
consumer-oriented health publications, reference books, home medical guides,
and a wide range of topical overviews. More than 70% of the articles, all the
reference books, pamphlets, and overviews are available in full text. Some
articles from professional medical journals such as JAMA, Journal of the
American Medical Association, The Lancet, and The New England Journal of
Medicine offer easy-to-understand summaries for lay readers.
          The broad perspective of Health & Wellness InSite is best
characterized by
its in-depth collection of consumer publications such as Business & Health,
FDA Consumer, and Prevention; health pamphlets published by leading
associations such as the American Lung Association and The American Cancer
Society; and authoritative reference books that include Columbia University
College of Physicians and Surgeons Complete Home Medical Guide, Mosby's
Medical Dictionary, and USP DI-Vol. II Advice for the Patient: Drug
Information in Lay Language.
          A Wealth of Business Applications
    Professionals in a variety of industries and job functions will find
Health & Wellness InSite relevant to their particular information needs. For
example, insurance professionals can explore new health insurance options for
small businesses; market analysts can find out how aspirin sales are affected
by the introduction of new pain relievers; financial analysts can evaluate
the
impact of a wellness program on their company; PR professionals can track
press coverage about a certain prescription or over-the-counter medication;
and food and beverage manufacturers can study the long-range impact that the
bacterial contamination of products has on consumer attitudes and buying
patterns.

quick, easy, and precise research on the Internet. Released in June of 1996,
