| Abstract: | A person's investment in his health can be viewed as an activity in which medical services, combined with other outputs, produce new health. A general model is provided that enables a better understanding of the decision of a patient whether or not to participate in a treatment and, if so, the optimal timing for the treatment. The model takes into account both "objective information" which represents medical technology as well as "subjective information" which represents the patient's preference. |
