Experts estimate that $200 billion worth of annual healthcare costs are due
to unnecessary medical care and to illnesses that could have been prevented.
As healthcare costs soar, researchers are looking for ways to keep people
healthy.

The Commerce Department's National Institute of Standards (NIST) has awarded
a $2 million grant to CareSoft, Inc. to develop WellNet, an interactive
multimedia consumer health management tool.  WellNet is designed to help
healthcare consumers better manage their own health with interactive in-home
systems linking them to a wide range of clinicians and peers as well as to
relevant information automatically structured for each user.

JJ Singh will demonstrate WellNet and discuss some of its applications.
