a processor providing an electronic database of risks and benefits of different treatment options and executing program instructions stored in a computer-readable storage medium and providing a display to:
(a) receive information for a given patient characterizing a risk-benefit preference by the patient with respect to medical treatment;
(b) access the database to provide a display of a set of multiple treatment option markers associated with different medical treatment options and arranged in a display area along a first axis according to treatment option benefit and along a second axis according to treatment option risk; and
(c) use the received information to interactively superimpose on the display area an iso-preference boundary of equal risk-benefit preferences by the patient.
