Abstract
Searchable directories of health events are described. In many embodiments, a health event directory platform is provided that enables health providers to upload events to database of health events. The health event directory platform captures data from the health provider in a structured way that facilitates the searching of the database of health events. In addition, the health event directory platform uses knowledge of previous searches to suggest additional information to associate with a health event in order to increase the likelihood that the health event will appear in the results of a relevant search query. Users can provide requests for information to the health event directory platform, which uses the request to query the health events database and retrieve information concerning relevant health events within a particular geographic area. In many embodiments, the user can register for an event and/or pay using the health event directory platform.
