The personal health record can also include patient or practitioner entered data. The personal health record is portable and may be owned by the patient. Access to the personal health record can be given by a patient to a practitioner to the extent desired. Another innovative technology solution developed and patented by Andam is a Video Email System. The system provides the supply of electronic messages to a message recipient and includes a message server (110) configured to distribute electronic messages. A plurality of electronic messages can be stored on the message server (110), and the plurality of electronic messages include video output for the message recipient. A message header (114) can be stored on the message server for each electronic message. The message header refers to message blocks (112) for message content and video output. A message client (140) is also configured to first receive the message header when an electronic message is sent to the message recipient and to request the message blocks from the message server when the electronic message is accessed by the message recipient. Another current invention of Andam is an Interactive Visual Search Engine. The engine provides a system and method for searching networked electronic media. The method includes the operation of mapping a user-selected keyword to a category identifier for search result generation in a search engine. A search result can be produced that contains a listing of URLs for the category identifier. Then the search result can be dynamically populated with images through identity mapping of the image to a URL. The search can determine the display images to a URL based on a user's profile, like age, and the URL's popularity with other users sharing a similar user profile. The URLs and an associated image for the search can be obtained through a community of users.Innovations
