Adaptive User Interface for Healthcare Application for People with Dementia

Adaptive user interfaces can be more effective in increasing accessibility of the interaction between people and systems, especially for elderly or people with different impairments such as cognitive impairments in people with dementia. There are two possible types of adaptation for interfaces: navigation and content-based adaptation. Both types of adaptation must be made based on the context (devices that are used) and on the user profile. This paper presents a method for interface adaptation using user classification. Users are classified based on their interactions with the interface.
