Worldwide healthcare delivery trends are undergoing a subtle paradigm shift—patient centerd services as opposed to provider centerd services and wellness maintenance as opposed to illness management. In this paper we present a Tele-Healthcare project TIDE—Tele–Healthcare Information and Diagnostic Environment. TIDE manifests an ‘intelligent’ healthcare environment that aims to ensure lifelong coverage of person-specific health maintenance decision-support services—i.e., both wellness maintenance and illness management services—ubiquitously available via the Internet/WWW. Taking on an all-encompassing health maintenance role—spanning from wellness to illness issues—the functionality of TIDE involves the generation and delivery of (a) Personalized, Pro–active, Persistent, Perpetual, and Present wellness maintenance services, and (b) remote diagnostic services for managing noncritical illnesses. Technically, TIDE is an amalgamation of diverse computer technologies—Artificial Intelligence, Internet, Multimedia, Databases, and Medical Informatics—to implement a sophisticated healthcare delivery infostructure.
