As increasing concerns on healthcare, many people search healthcare documents on the Web by using information retieval engines. However, this searching method has inconvenience that users should carefully look up a large amount of documents in order to get their healthcare information. To reduce this inconvenience, we propose a healthcare supporting system that searches and classifies healthcare information. The proposed system consists of three modules; a technical term extraction module, a symptom retrieval module, and a symptom classification module. In the experiments, we showed that the proposed system can effectively retrieve healthcare documents through the technical term extractionb module and the symptom retrieval module. We also showed that the proposed system can recommend medical departments to users through the symptom classification module.
