NIHSeniorHealth Redesign Improves Navigation

NIHSeniorHealth, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) consumer health Web site for older adults developed by the National Institute on Aging and the National Library of Medicine®, released its redesigned site in late June. As NIHSeniorHealth has grown from ten topics in 2003 to thirty-seven topics and added features such as exercise stories and more than ninety-five health videos, the site outgrew its original navigation structure. The new design (see below) allows users to find a topic more quickly, watch a video, or learn about other senior-friendly resources available from the NIH.
Homepage
The homepage includes enhanced navigation for health topics by First letter and Categories in the middle of the page. For example, Osteoporosis as a topic may be accessed by selecting the letter ‘O’ from the A to Z list or Bones and Joints under Categories. Each month a new or updated topic is highlighted in the Featured Topic section. The sections on Exercise Stories, Health Videos, and the Trainer’s Toolkit appear below the new navigation.
