Twenty years ago, Peter Szolovits and colleagues proposed a digital “Guardian Angel” built on the notion that information systems designers might shift focus from serving health institutions to empowering the individual patient . The Guardian Angel (or digital health advisor) would collect individual patient data, monitor health conditions, interpret health information for patients, help customize treatment plans, share information with the care team, and provide reminders and alerts about medications and appointments. With recent technological advances, the capacity to create a digital health advisor is now within reach, but it has yet to emerge.
