CONTEXT-AWARE INFORMATION TOOLTIPS FOR PERSONAL HEALTH RECORDS

摘要

A personal health record system (10) for a patient includes a medical terms recognition unit (20), a personalized term association unit (22) and a term report unit (30). The medical terms recognition unit (20) receives a document (14) into a personal health record (12) of the patient, identifies medical terms within the document (14) and associates at least one identified medical term with one of a medical complaint, a medical history, a physical examination, a medical treatment, a medical diagnosis, a medical condition or a medical test based on a medical knowledge model (18). The personalized term association unit (22) associates the at least one identified medical term with at least one attribute specific to the patient (64). The term report unit (30) displays on a display device (32) with the document the at least one attribute specific to the patient and with an explanation of the at least one attribute associated with the at least one identified medical term with the at least one identified medical term.
