Group profile creation in ubiquitous healthcare environment applying the analytic hierarchy process

Nowadays, the personalization in ubiquitous healthcare is of utmost importance for enabling the provision of services tailored to the patient’s needs and interests. The personalization of the ubiquitous healthcare services is based on the profiles of the entities participating in these services. Such an application is the dynamic creation of the group of the entities that is formed to deliver the healthcare service to the patient. In this paper, we propose an approach for achieving creation of group profiles in a ubiquitous healthcare environment applying the Analytic Hierarchy Process

Accessibility of Health Data Representations for Older Adults: Challenges and Opportunities for Design

Health data of consumer off-the-shelf wearable devices is often conveyed to users through visual data representations and analyses. However, this is not always accessible to people with disabilities or older people due to low vision, cognitive impairments or literacy issues. Due to trade-offs between aesthetics predominance or information overload, real-time user feedback may not be conveyed easily from sensor devices through visual cues like graphs and texts. These difficulties may hinder critical data understanding. Additional auditory and tactile feedback can also provide immediate and accessible cues from these wearable devices, but it is necessary to understand existing data representation limitations initially. To avoid higher cognitive and visual overload, auditory and haptic cues can be designed to complement, replace or reinforce visual cues. In this paper, we outline the challenges in existing data representation and the necessary evidence to enhance the accessibility of health information from personal sensing devices used to monitor health parameters such as blood pressure, sleep, activity, heart rate and more. By creating innovative and inclusive user feedback, users will likely want to engage and interact with new devices and their own data
