TrendyMinds and Algolia partnered to create a personalized and easy to manage search experience for the Indiana University Health website

The problem

IU Health needed a personalized search experience to connect patients with physicians and medical resources, while managing data scattered across multiple first and third party repositories each with its own endpoint — creating a hectic backend and administrative pain points on provider pages.
