Patient Empowerment through Personal Medical Recommendations.
Patients today have ample opportunities to inform themselves about their disease and possible treatments using the Internet. While this type of patient empowerment is widely regarded as having a positive influence on the treatment, there exists the problem that the quality of information that can be found on online is very diverse. This paper presents a platform which empowers patients by allowing searching in a high quality document repository. In addition, it automatically provides intelligent and personalized recommendations according to the individual preferences and medical conditions.
