University of Wisconsin, Madison, USA.

Abstract

The Comprehensive Health Enhancement Support System (CHESS) was developed to assist people dealing with health crises. Needs assessments with patients were conducted in its development and validation studies performed. CHESS provides information, social support, and decision-making assistance via a personal computer and modem that are placed in patients' homes. Women of all ages and varied socioeconomic backgrounds have successfully used this program to empower them to become active participants in their care following a diagnosis of breast cancer.
