A system and method of distributing health information through a portal passes through several stages associated with the patients, their ailments and treatments. First, contact and diagnostic data is obtained from the patient, including medical diagnosis, or other information descriptive of the patient's condition. Next, educational information is provided to the patients. Each patient is also asked to identify the treatment his has been prescribed and receives motivational information to induce the patient to either start or continue treatment. Finally, the system also gets involved actively in the treatment by sending messages to the patient requiring certain activities, such as going to see a doctor, exercising, and so forth.
