| Abstract: | People are becoming savvier as health consumers when faced with the need to make decisions. They are turning to the internet for both factual and experiential information. DIPEx, an awardwinning, electronic, multi-media resource of personal experiences of health, illness and related issues on the web, addresses this need with evidence-based information alongside video, audio and written interview clips that identify issues that matter to people. The website is freely available 24 hours a day providing support for patients and their families, friends, carers and health professionals from the personal perspective. |
