What is a Proactive Health System?

• A system designed for early detection, personal care, and caregiver support rather than crisis management.
• A system that summarizes personal health information for individuals and caregivers to promote better health decisions.
• A system that supports the health care activities of all individuals and their caregivers.
• A system that individuals can access at home, in community centers, and when visiting their medical provider.

In summary, a Proactive Health System puts health care technologies into everyday lives, and off loads formal institutions when appropriate. It is a system of sensors and information technology that alerts individuals when their health status trends away from normal, and helps them return to health.
