Abstract
In October 1994 the then Australian Federal Minister for Health, Dr. Carmen Lawrence, announced that Medicare, the Australian universal national healthcare fund was considering introducing Healthtrac a computerised health promotion program. The change of government in 1995 put paid to this plan, however, lifestyle based health promotion programs, including computerised programs, are an increasing trend in contemporary health care. Research from the United States indicates a growing interest by private insurers and Health Maintenance Organisations (HMOs) in funding and encouraging members, particularly older members and retirees, to engage in healthy lifestyle programs, some of which provide written reports, periodic up‐dates and checks to members as well as summary advice to employers and insurers.
