title: A personalised Healthcare Information Delivery System: pushing customised healthcare information over the WWW.
abstract: Easier and focused access to healthcare information can empower individuals to make 'informed' choices and judgements about personal health maintenance. To achieve 'optimum' patient empowerment, we need to re-evaluate and potentially re-design the processes of healthcare information delivery. Our suggestion is that healthcare information should be personalised according to each individual's healthcare needs and it should be pro-actively delivered, i.e. pushed towards the individual. We present an intelligent Personalised Healthcare Information Delivery Systems that aims to enhance patient empowerment by pro-actively pushing customised, based on one's Electronic Medical Record, health maintenance information via the WWW.
