Abstract
The Internet has become a popular source of health information. However, in-depth understanding of the information seeking behaviour of online health information is limited. We conducted an experiment to investigate the information needs and behaviours of health information seekers. This paper reports on a model of behavioural patterns drawn on the experimental results, and implications for designing a better user experience for the exploration of online health information.
