What is A Computerized Cancer Information System about?
Cancer information was made available via a computer to patients visiting the University of Connecticut Dental Clinics. The computer program was menu driven. An option allowed users to leave messages for the system owners. The computer program generated a log of usage, user comments and items chosen. The user could choose from the following topics: (1) general information on cancer; (2) diet, nutrition and cancer; (3) smoking; (4) the environment, occupations and cancer; and (5) physical checkups. An option to leave a message for the system operators was the option chosen least. Analysis of the usage log shows that the system was used substantially while people were waiting in the clinic and that at least three or four individuals used the system every clinic day. Such information systems can provide important information to the public. The novelty of the system and the lack of supervision did not deter public use.
