The article is about a new Web Tool that can help you take control of your health. It gives people more access to doctors and hospitals. Experts agree with this feature because this could help manage personalized data. It helps people make better health care decisions through the Web. One example of this tool could be “Using the Keas system." For example, a person with Type 2 diabetes might receive reminders, advice on diet and exercise, questions and prompts presented on the Web site or delivered by e-mail or text messages — all personalized for the person’s age, gender, weight and other health conditions.”

This article got my attention because this could be a beneficial feature for patients. Manage and store, and upload their health information online take an advantage for any patient.
