An Adaptive User Interface Framework for eHealth Services based on UIML

New sensory technologies and smaller, more capable mobile devices open opportunities for pervasive computing in the healthcare sector. Patients as well as medical professionals are, from a information and communication technology (ICT) point of view, better equipped than ever before. Despite this, many hospitals and other healthcare service providers have yet to exploit the potential unleashed by these technologies. In this paper, we present a framework for adaptive user interfaces for home care and smart hospital services. The framework uses the current context to provide healthcare professionals or patients with simpler, more efficient user interfaces. In a home care environment, user interface adaption is needed to tailor user interfaces to patients needs and impairments. In a smart hospital, user interface adaption considers medical professionals’ preferences and priorities. In addition, by using context to make input suggestions simplifies the input and limits the scope for errors. Our frameworks uses a modelbased approach and includes the current context in the interface generation process

Investigación de sistemas operativos para dispositivos móviles entre 2008-2010, con objeto de seleccionar el más adecuado a emplear como plataforma tecnológica para el proyecto de investigación "MEDIR"

Actualmente, podemos encontrar una amplia gama de dispositivos móviles en los cuales día a día fabricantes incorporan nuevas funcionalidades en componentes físicos cada vez más compactos, es tal la competencia entre ellos que frecuentemente están innovando y creando dispositivos digitales cada vez más complejos en su estructura, enfocados a la facilidad de uso e incorporando funcionalidades adicionales. Es difícil especificar el número exacto de dispositivos móviles y aún más los sistemas operativos con sus respectivas versiones instaladas en ellos, por esta razón, se visualiza una necesidad de llevar a cabo un estudio en el cual se muestre un estado del arte de los sistemas operativos de uso comercial y de libre distribución que vienen instalados en dispositivos móviles, con el fin de formalizar una herramienta informativa que facilite la selección de plataformas tecnológicas para proyectos relacionados con dispositivos móviles en entornos de desarrollo tecnológico, como es el caso de MEDIR "Medidas Digitales Remotas", el cual busca mostrar la forma de utilizar estos dispositivos como elementos pertenecientes a la plataforma tecnológica de procesos que involucren telemetría en general.Actually, we can find a great wide range of mobile devices which are developed by the builders with new technologies and functionalities in smaller physical devices, such is the competition between them that often are innovating and creating digital devices becoming more complex in structure, focus on the easy way of using and incorporating additional functions. It is difficult to specify the exact number of mobile devices and more operating systems with their respective versions installed on they, therefore, displays a need to conduct a study which shows a state of the art systems operating commercial and freely available pre-installed mobile devices in order to formalize a tool information to facilitate the selection of technology platforms projects related to mobile devices in development environments technology, as is the case of measuring "Remote Digital measurements, the which seeks to show how to use these devices as elements belonging to the technological platform of processes involving telemetry in general

Context-aware generation of user interface containers for mobile devices

The world of the mobile devices involves restrictive features. Multiple efforts have been done to define the user interface. Here, it is combined a neutral description of the UI with a semantic recovery of information. The focus of this paper is the generation of the containment structure based on the context of the application. The process includes three main tasks: first a fixed division of the neutral definition of the UI (a task tree), then heuristic rules based on the vicinity are applied and finally a set of container patterns is provided to polish the UI. Alternative configurations are delivered and weighted. Since multiple metrics has been proposed a comparison of them was delivered. The results of the comparative analysis suggest that some metrics, although more sophisticated and fine-grained, do not necessarily improve significantly the quality of determining user interface containers, therefore stemming for simple, yet efficient, metrics used to reach a threshold. Finally, a set of plausible UIs is delivered.Anglai
