Abstract:
A disease risk evaluation and education tool, preferably implemented in logic on a computing device such as a Personal Digital Assistant, permits a user to input patient-specific data relevant to evaluating that patient's risk for a particular disease, e.g., coronary heart disease. The tool's logic calculates the equivalent age of the patient, based on the Framingham data set and on the input data, and presents one or more treatment recommendations.
