@article{(Open Science Index):https://publications.waset.org/pdf/15435, title = {Personal Health Assistance Service Expert System (PHASES)}, author = {Chakkrit Snae and Michael Brueckner}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {In this paper the authors present the framework of a system for assisting users through counseling on personal health, the Personal Health Assistance Service Expert System (PHASES). Personal health assistance systems need Personal Health Records (PHR), which support wellness activities, improve the understanding of personal health issues, enable access to data from providers of health services, strengthen health promotion, and in the end improve the health of the population. This is especially important in societies where the health costs increase at a higher rate than the overall economy. The most important elements of a healthy lifestyle are related to food (such as balanced nutrition and diets), activities for body fitness (such as walking, sports, fitness programs), and other medical treatments (such as massage, prescriptions of drugs). The PHASES framework uses an ontology of food, which includes nutritional facts, an expert system keeping track of personal health data that are matched with medical treatments, and a comprehensive data transfer between patients and the system.}, journal = {International Journal of Health and Medical Engineering}, volume = {1}, number = {8}, year = {2007}, pages = {344 - 347}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/15435}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/8}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 8, 2007}, }
