Abstract: The featured work aims to provide a technology-enriched solution to web-mediated patient empowerment initiatives via the implementation of an intelligent info-structure that features (1) dynamic composition of Personalized Healthcare Information (PHI) conformant to an individual's EMR-based health profile; and (2) pro-active Internet-based delivery of PHI. Healthcare information personalization is achieved via profile-specific selection and template-specific aggregation of multiple fine-grained, pre-authored, generic 'topic-specific' healthcare information content. The use of intelligent constraint satisfaction techniques ensure the medical correctness of the dynamically composed PHI document. The application of Internet-based push technology allows for the PHI document to be pushed to the individual's email account, thus guaranteeing the timely availability of high-quality health maintenance information.
