Adaptive GUIs tailored to different user groups for public health service delivery via fuzzy logic membership functions

The development of an adaptive Graphical User Interface (GUI) tailored to different user groups is a challenge to meet the requirements of private users up to governmental decision makers. The aim of the article is to demonstrate how fuzzy logic membership functions can contribute to the geo-spatial adaptivity of GUls for health service delivery in Sub-Saharan Africa, in a way that users could base their decisions on up-to-date information on resource allocation via a Geographic Information System (GIS). In the pilot region for this project, South Africa, a ubiquitous availability of mobile devices is basic constituent of the available Information Technology (IT) framework for public health service delivery. The improvement of health service delivery is based on the allocation of limited resources for public health risk mitigation. An optimization and reallocation of resources has to be communicated to the users, so that the users are aware of these changes and have access to the information where and how to access the resources to their personal risk mitigation. The GUI is developed tailored to different user groups to achieve maximum comprehensibility and effectiveness for public health risk mitigation.
