  • the present invention is related to the communication of health care related information, and in particular to an online system for communicating personalized information between a medical professional and a patient.
  • an end user in order to take advantage of the information available through these Internet-based resources, an end user must first search out relevant web sites. If the end user finds a relevant web site, the end user must become familiar with the particular web site and then search out information that relates to the end user's interests or needs. Often the end user must examine a vast amount of information, the majority of which is not useful to the end user. Further, when the end user does find material of interest, the end user often does not know if the information is trustworthy.
