CHESS

Comprehensive Health Enhancement Support System

CHESS is a home-based application that enables patients with certain illnesses, such as AIDS or breast cancer, to access answers to commonly asked questions; a library of several hundred articles, brochures and pamphlets; a catalog of real-life personal stories of living and coping with health crises; e-mail communications with health care experts; and on-line discussion groups.

Dr. Gustafson was a speaker at Partnerships '96, where he discussed CHESS.
