The hypothesis in the conceptual model was that a user-driven innovation in presently available information and communication technology infrastructure would be able to meet patient and health professional users information needs and help them attain better health outcomes. An operational model was created to plan a trial on a sample diabetic population utilizing a randomized control trial design, assigning one randomly selected group of diabetics to receive electronic information intervention and analyse if it would improve their health outcomes in comparison with a matched diabetic population who would only receive regular medical intervention. Diabetes was chosen for this particular trial, as it is a major chronic illness in Malaysia as elsewhere in the world. It is in essence a position paper for how the study concept should be organized to stimulate wider discussion prior to beginning the study.
概念模型中的假设是，在现有信息通信技术基础设施上进行用户驱动的创新，将能够满足患者和医疗专业人员用户的信息需求，并帮助他们获得更好的健康结果。创建了一个操作模型，以计划对一群糖尿病患者进行试验，采用随机对照试验设计，随机选择一组糖尿病患者接受电子信息干预，并分析与仅接受常规医疗干预的匹配糖尿病患者群体相比，该干预是否会改善他们的健康结果。之所以选择糖尿病进行这项特定试验，是因为它在马来西亚以及世界其他地方都是一种主要的慢性病。从本质上讲，这是一篇立场文件，阐述了在开始研究之前应如何组织研究概念以激发更广泛的讨论。
