title: The lifespan personal health record.
abstract: A system for entry of health data in a computer-based patient record by lay individuals is described. The lay user is supported in data entry and data clarification, as well as by system-supported summarization of the data in context to show relationships, highlight sentinel events, and assist in evaluation of alternative decisions and actions as needed.
