A personalised Healthcare Information Delivery System: pushing customised healthcare information over the WWW.

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.
