This article discusses the challenges of assessing the quality of health information on the internet. It highlights that online medical advice varies widely in accuracy and consistency, as shown by multiple studies over the years. Despite the development of numerous tools to measure healthcare quality online, many remain unvalidated. The article also emphasizes that defining a universal quality standard is difficult due to the diverse nature of online health resources and the varying needs of users, from patients seeking simple explanations to professionals needing clinical data. Quality assessment criteria should consider content type, intended audience, and accessibility. While some advocate for uniform standards across media, online health information requires unique considerations, such as web design principles and accessibility for individuals with disabilities.
