背景：人们越来越关注为消费者量身定制的信通技术解决方案的潜力。这一新兴学科被称为消费者健康信息学（CHI），在向患者和公众提供信息方面发挥着重要作用，并有助于促进自我管理。CHI的概念已经出现了大多数病人的愿望，承担责任，对他们的健康和健康从业者的愿望日益增长，以充分认识patient.AIM的潜力：描述的作用，信息通信技术在改善病人的合作伙伴关系，在消费者健康信息.系统回顾文献，识别参考源，制定检索策略，并手动检索已开发的CHI在医疗保健中的应用delivery.RESULTS:新的消费者健康IT应用程序已经开发出来，可以在各种不同的平台上使用，包括Web、消息系统、PDA和手机。这些应用程序通过提醒和提示、向患者和提供者提供患者健康状况的实时数据、基于网络的通信和个人电子健康信息来帮助患者进行自我管理。正在开发新的工具，以便向患者和公众提供信息，这加强了卫生事务的决策，并为临床医生和消费者提供了交流健康信息的渠道。个人和公共使用的信息。这需要医疗机构、政府和ICT行业之间的相互印证，以开发新的研究和IT创新，以满足消费者的健康需求。
BACKGROUND: There is a growing interest concerning the potential of ICT solutions that are customized to consumers. This emerging discipline referred to as consumer health informatics (CHI) plays a major role in providing information to patients and the public, and facilitates the promotion of self-management. The concept of CHI has emerged out of the desire of most patients to shoulder responsibilities regarding their health and a growing desire of health practitioners to fully appreciate the potential of the patient.AIM: To describe the role of ICT in improving the patient-provider partnership in consumer health informatics.METHODS: Systematic reviewing of literature, identification of reference sources and formulation of search strategies and manual search regarding the significance of developed CHI applications in healthcare delivery.RESULTS: New consumer health IT applications have been developed to be used on a variety of different platforms, including the Web, messaging systems, PDAs, and cell phones. These applications assists patients with self-management through reminders and prompts, delivery of real-time data on a patient's health condition to patients and providers, web-based communication and personal electronic health information.CONCLUSION: New tools are being developed for the purposes of providing information to patients and the public which has enhanced decision making in health matters and an avenue for clinicians and consumers to exchange health information for personal and public use. This calls for corroboration among healthcare organizations, governments and the ICT industry to develop new research and IT innovations which are tailored to the health needs of the consumer.
