A case base reasoning framework to author personalized health maintenance information

Abstract

We present a personalized health information generation and delivery system that leverages case-based reasoning techniques to dynamically author a personalized health information package based on an individual's current health profile. The work features a compositional adaptation approach, whereby relevant health information elements from the solution component of multiple similar past cases are carefully selected and systematically combined to yield a new personalized health information package. We have implemented a generic Java-based case-based reasoning engine that applies a novel compositional adaptation algorithm to author a HTML-based personalized health information package that can be e-mailed to users.
