Abstract

Provides a technology-enriched solution to Web-mediated patient empowerment initiatives via the implementation of an intelligent information structure that features (1) the dynamic composition of personalized healthcare information (PHI) conforming to an individual´s EMR (electronic medical record) based health profile; and (2) proactive Internet-based delivery of PHI. Healthcare information personalization is achieved via profile-specific selection and template-specific aggregation of multiple, fine-grained, pre-authored, generic, topic-specific healthcare information content. The use of intelligent constraint satisfaction techniques ensure the medical correctness of the dynamically composed PHI document. The application of Internet-based push technology allows the PHI document to be pushed to the individual´s e-mail account, thus guaranteeing the timely availability of high-quality health maintenance information
