| Not
only is the U.S. healthcare cost rising dramatically, but three-quarters
of spending is for chronic conditions — diabetes and congestive
heart disease, for example — and the number of individuals
with chronic conditions is growing rapidly and expected to top
150 million by 2010. Effective wellness programs that encourage
individuals to manage their health and wellness proactively
offer huge potential to intercept chronic conditions in their
early stages and reduce the cost of chronic care dramatically. |

trends of user-generated information, whether in encyclopedias
such as Wikipedia, or in communities (blogs and forums), offer
the solvent for a breakthrough in healthcare management. However,
this cannot occur until the time when consumers can be efficiently
and effectively directed to relevant information and conversations
on a just-in-time basis. |
