PHI and its personnel have created or participated in the creation of web-based applications for educational purposes and to facilitate interactive, real-time communication. Web-based applications have many advantages over traditional approaches, in that educational content may be updated continuously, its reach is potentially limitless, and applications can be amplified through "online health communities" that engage users in real-time activities and communication.

Examples of web-based applications we have created or played a role in include:

• TEAM Lycopene National Health Information Infrastructure Award of Merit 2001
• Outcomes Toolkit
• Decision Support System for the Prevention of Substance Abuse
