Medicine has developed sophisticated technologies based on an extensive knowledge base but it has met with serious application obstacles. Where prevention data is available, implementation of preventive measures faces great difficulty. Where compliance with treatment is found to improve outcome, ways to improve compliance have to be found. Although behavioral medicine has produced efficient learning based strategies for helping people modify their potentially noxious habits and even their environment, it cannot influence motivation to change. Information raises motivation and informing is the task of health education. The present paper presents three applications of SIC**, a microcomputer based patient teaching aid developed in response to the need for an unobtrusive, cost-efficient and flexible vehicle for transmitting clinically relevant information to target populations in a programmerless environment. Examples in mental health and psychosomatic medicine are presented and implication for future research is discussed. |
