title: [Feasibility of tailored patient education].
abstract: Patient education has an important role in the prevention and therapy. It enables the delivery of necessary information, development of skills and motivations and supporting to cope with the disease. Although many information sources are available, it is still necessary to provide organized patient education. Tailored patient education was proved to be more effective than using general information materials. The proper use of information technology enables the widespread and cost-effective implementation of tailored patient education. The authors analyse the components necessary for development of such a system.
