N2 - We present an Internet-based Personalised Healthcare Information (PHI) dissemination system. Information personalisation is guided by the individual's current health profile as recorded in his/her EMR. A PHI package is composed by intelligently selecting and synthesizing various topic-specific documents, each corresponding to some health parameter noted in the EMR. To ensure medical consistency, constraint satisfaction techniques are employed during the information selection phase. The resultant PHI package - covering both long-term and immediate health-maintenance requirements - can be proactively pushed to the individual via email, thereby ensuring the timely availability of situation-specific health maintenance information. The featured work is in line with the Malaysian Multimedia Super Corridor Telemedicine initiative and can serve as a test-bed to evaluate the effectiveness of PHI, system design and operational considerations for larger-scale deployment.
