iMedix is a health information website that describes itself as an "Independent Drug & Health Platform" providing information on medicines and health. It was founded in 20061 by Amir Leitersdorf and Iri Amirav in the United States, with its R&D based in Herzeliya, Israel, and originally operated as a health search engine and social network service using proprietary algorithms to provide information in response to medical questions. On May 18, 2011, AVG Technologies acquired iMedix Web Technologies Ltd., aiming for "the integration of iMedix software with the Company’s existing solutions." After shutting down sometime after February 2012, the website was reactivated in 2014 and has been operational since then.
