Abstract

An information management system (IMS) is described herein that provides supplemental information to a user who is interacting with an application module. In one implementation, the IMS includes a collection system, an information extraction module, and a notification system. The collection system provides collected information from one or more information sources. The information extraction module extracts application information from the application module, even though the application module may lack a native interface for providing the application information. The analysis engine determines supplemental information to present to the user based on the collected information and the application information. And the notification information provides notification information which alerts the user to the existence of the supplemental information. In one scenario, the IMS can be applied in a healthcare-related domain.
