CHESS - Comprehensive Health Enhancement Support System

CHESS is a system designed for patients suffering from a life-threatening disease such as breast cancer, HIV infection, heart disease, Alzheimer's disease, or alcoholism, who can educate themselves from home using their personal computer and improve their health. This support system is developed at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. An AHRQ study of HIV patients who used CHESS showed that they had fewer hospitalizations and a higher quality of life than patients who received only standard medical treatment.
