Introduced are methods and systems for gathering information from a healthcare consumer using context-based questions, and progressively presenting information associated with a ranked list of suggested healthcare providers. First, the server gathers information associated with the healthcare consumer using context-based questions. Each question is formulated based on the answers the healthcare consumer has provided to previous questions, so that minimal and necessary questions are asked. Second, the server progressively sends to a healthcare consumer device, information associated with a ranked list of suggested healthcare providers. The first information tier sent to the healthcare consumer device includes a graphic representing the match strength between the healthcare consumer and the healthcare provider, and the number of similar healthcare consumers the healthcare provider has treated. Based on the healthcare consumer interest, the server displays additional information to the healthcare consumer. |

1. A computer implemented method for gathering information from a healthcare consumer using context-based questions presented in a graphical user interface, and progressively presenting information associated with a ranked list of suggested healthcare providers, said method comprising:
receiving, from a database, a healthcare provider information associated with said healthcare provider; generating said graphical user interface comprising a plurality of context-based questions as a stack of cards, wherein each card is associated with a single question, and wherein an indication of a number of questions remaining is displayed as a stack of partially visible cards, and wherein said sequence of context-based questions is formulated to gather only minimal and necessary information; receiving from a consumer device associated with said consumer, a first answer to a first question associated with said plurality of context-based questions, said first question regarding a health issue associated with said consumer; receiving from said consumer device associated with said consumer, a second answer to a second question associated with said plurality of context-based questions, wherein said second question is formulated based on said healthcare provider information, and said first answer; based on said first answer, said second answer and said healthcare provider information, calculating said ranked list of suggested healthcare providers; sending to a consumer device associated with a consumer said ranked list of suggested healthcare providers, said ranked list comprising a plurality of items representing a first information tier associated with a healthcare provider, and a first display element configured to receive a first consumer selection, and wherein said first information tier comprises a graphic representing a match strength between said consumer and said healthcare provider, and a text representing a number of similar consumer said healthcare provider has treated; upon receiving a first consumer selection, sending to said consumer device a second information tier associated with said healthcare provider, and a second display element configured to receive a second consumer selection, said second information tier comprising a graphic comparison between said number of similar healthcare consumers said healthcare provider has treated, and an average number of similar healthcare consumers other healthcare providers have treated; and upon receiving a second consumer selection, sending to said consumer device a third information tier associated with said healthcare provider, and a third display element configured to receive a third consumer selection, said third information tier comprising a graphical representation of a percentage breakdown of different health issues said healthcare provider has treated. |
