An intelligent system for collecting, storing, processing, and analyzing a patients relevant medical history data is disclosed. In one embodiment, a patients medical history, including the patients personal medical history and the patients family medical history, may be accessed within the system. The system may be queried by doctors and other medical professionals to compare symptoms, diagnoses, prescriptions, and medical issues against the known medical history. Further, the intelligent system may query the medical history of family members, providing an accurate yet discreet evaluation of related health conditions that may have genetic or hereditary implications. A further embodiment utilizes the intelligent system to generate alerts on the basis of the patients personal or family medical history. These alerts may be issued separately or in conjunction with the patients current medical issues, in order to help patients and medical professionals recognize potential health conditions and obtain enhanced medical evaluation.
