Popis: Patients today have ample opportunities to inform themselves about their disease and possible treatments using the Internet. While this type of patient empowerment is widely regarded as having a positive influence on the treatment, there exists the problem that the quality of information that can be found on online is very diverse. This paper presents a platform which empowers patients by allowing searching in a high quality document repository. In addition, it automatically provides intelligent and personalized recommendations according to the individual preferences and medical conditions.
