Context-Aware Recommender Systems Influenced by the Users’ Health-Related Data

This chapter provides an overview of past and current developments in the area of recommender systems, paying special attention to two concepts that we view as cornerstones to provide effective assistance to people during their daily lives: context awareness and health awareness. We will enumerate different dimensions of context that are handled nowadays to maximize the value of the information delivered to the users, and then explain the existing approaches to take health-related data into consideration. Finally, we will describe the main features of a mobile application we are developing that interacts with electronic health record repositories and manages location information to recommend commercial products to the users.
