Abstract. Software development is increasingly focusing its design on users suffering from different kinds of disabilities or impairments, as it is the case for the elderly or handicapped people for instance. Real-time adaptable graphical user interfaces is a promising solution for designing accessible applications for users with special needs. Essentially, collecting context information and combining it with information about the user can be used to customize the content of the interface itself, and so it allows improving the user experience in his interaction with the application.The EU-funded FP7 MyUI project has emerged in the adaptive graphical interfaces domain, addressing important barriers which include the developers' lack of awareness and expertise, time and cost requirements of incorporating accessibility and missing validated approaches and infrastructures of accesible software design. This paper presents the technology used and the experiences collected in the integration process of a regular application into such a framework.Keywords: Adaptation, user interfaces, accessibility, elderly, disabilities, user profiling.
IntroductionThe EU-funded FP7 MyUI project combines several elements for building a framework that enables the creation of adaptable user interfaces in a drag-and-drop manner. The MyUI framework architecture is divided into three essential parts: the user model, the context manager and the adaptation engine. Basically, the adaptation engine uses the information collected by the context manager (which in turn uses the information from the user models) for creating a real-time adaptive interface.Such an adaptive interface is built up by combining multiple modular "Interaction Patterns", along with an Adaptation Engine which decides which patterns are more suitable for a user, based on the contextual information collected from that particular user. Such interaction patterns translate into HTML code that allows a customized visualization of the application. For instance, if a user suffers from low vision, the adaptaiton Engine may decide to display the context with a larger font-size than for
Introducción. Las unidades médicas presidenciales están destinadas a proteger la salud del dignatario en múltiples aspectos y en íntima relación con la seguridad. Existen tres áreas centrales de cobertura: el infarto de miocardio, el accidente cerebrovascular y trauma. Hacia el año 2016 no hemos hallado información sobre los recursos de los centros médicos en Argentina y su integración en redes de atención.Objetivo: Describir los centros médicos relevados y sus recursos para las áreas médicas de cobertura mencionadas.Métodos. Es un estudio descriptivo, de corte trasversal entre 12/2016 y 8/2019. El muestreo fue no probabilístico y por conveniencia. Las variables se reportaron como proporciones y las comparaciones se realizaron mediante el test de chi cuadrado o Fischer.Resultados: Ingresaron 232 centros, 66.8% en ciudades capitales y 67% del ámbito público. Las capitales se asociaron con mayor presencia de recursos: centros categoría 3 (OR 7.85; IC del 95% 3.66-16.84; p<0,000001), angiografía (OR 5.94; IC del 95% 3.24-10.28; p<0,000001), tomografía (OR 3.41; IC del 95% 1.51-7.69; p=0,002), trombolíticos (OR 3.24; IC del 95% 1.37-7.76; p=0,005); excepto cirugía de trauma (OR 1.83; IC del 95% 0.75-4.46; p=0,17). Los centros privados se asociaron con mayores recursos para la reperfusión; y los centros públicos para el tratamiento del trauma.Conclusiones: Se observa una desbalanceada distribución de recursos claves entre ciudades capitales y no capitales en extensas áreas geográficas que imposibilita el desarrollo de una adecuada red para el tratamiento del infarto, accidente cerebrovascular y trauma. La mejor calidad de atención requiere combinar redes públicas y privadas.
