searching through thousands of texts in case that drug/condition is mentioned. Finally, we believe
the incremental eort in extending the system to explain new drugs etc may be reduced.
Conclusion
Currently we have a prototype system able to generate personalised hypertext explanations of
concepts in the medical records of diabetes patients. Our work so far suggests that the texts
produced are acceptable and the eort in system development is not excessive. We have found
that quite simple techniques are sucient to provide the claimed benets of the approach, and
are now consolodating this initial work through empirical evaluation.
