Towards the framework of adaptive user interfaces for eHealth

Diversity inside a group of users having their individual abilities, interests, and needs challenge the developers of eHealth projects with heterogeneous needs in information delivery and/or other eHealth services. This paper considers an adaptive user interface approach as an opportunity in addressing this challenge. We briefly overview the recent achievements in the area of user interface adaptation and discuss application of these achievements in the eHealth context. We introduce the basic elements of our framework for adaptive user interface (AUI) for eHealth systems. Then, we use this framework in our review of work in the area of AUI for eHealth applications. As a result, we conclude with a brief discussion on the current focus on AUI research in eHealth, and interesting directions for further research.
