Healthy population is the base of a society to function well. According to the hygienic statistical data of the top-ten dead causes, chronic disease has become the key factor that impairs human health. Because of the long existence characteristic of chronic disease, it causes not only incomplete recovery but also induced handicap. Accordingly, chronic disease increasing the medical and nursing cost compared to acute disease. Many studies and institutes bring up prophylaxis and treatment to chronic disease. However, limited by diversification of chronic disease, these prophylaxis and treatment easily cause kinds of medical treatment dispute. All these are due to less control of chronic disease information and risky concept by both doctors and patients. Therefore, our study develops an online family health tree system which implements orientation systematic analytic method together with hygienic information. Through inputting the medical history of family members by interaction website design, this system can real-time calculate the risk information of getting chronic disease and transmit this information to family doctor to search assistance and carefulness plan for patients. This also helps family sentiments and improves medical information management. Finally, we use samples from teachers and students of Chung Shan Medical University. Our study shows this system can screen out kinds of high risky chronic disease patients and have good management of health risk. The relevant content is also described.
