Objective To describe the development of weCope, a Portuguese mobile app for people with schizophrenia. Methods The weCope followed 4 stages: I-102 psychotic disorders completed an online questionnaire; II-a multidisciplinary focus group was conducted among five mental health professionals; III-we developed app; IV-9 participants used during 8 weeks to assess its efficiency. Results targets coping voices, problem solving, goals setting and stress management, results indicated that: improved...
This paper describes a proposal to develop Tourism Recommendation System based in users enhanced profiles (composed by basic user information, relations between and set of stereotypes functionality levels). The main focus this work is evaluate if user's physical psychological levels considered creation, will produce significant changes the recommendation results.
This paper presents an undertaken research work about the development of Adaptive Tourism Modeling System which attempts to correctly model a tourism Web application user profile. will follow methodology used behind concept application, `User as process', consists three specific modules in order achieve clear modeling technology. The representation module devises collection knowledge formalisms that co-exist constitute system's view user; reasoning is responsible for execution several...
Identifying and making the correct decision on best health treatment or screening test option can become a difficult task. Therefore is important that patients get all types of information appropriate to manage their health. Decision aids be very useful when there more than one reasonable about uncertain associated with tests. The tools help people understand clinical condition, through description different options available. purpose this paper present project “Supporting Informed Making In...
There is an urgent need to develop more effective interventions for psychotic disorders. Mobile Health solutions can address this emerging problem but needs research. This study aims present a new intervention and have some preliminary data about weCOPE. The sample constituted by nine participants with mean age of 38 years (±9.701), being 78% men, clinical follow-up time 10 years. lasted eight weeks was followed each user's case manager. collection carried out in two moments (before after...
The aim of this paper is to present an Constructivism approach for educational adaptive hypermedia tool. learning platform has a constructivist approach, assessing the user knowledge and presenting contents activities adapted characteristics style student. allows students teachers autonomously create consolidate knowledge, with permanent automatic feedback support, through instructional methodologies explored in manner.
This paper presents a successful attempt at evolving web intelligence in the tourism scenario, namely throughout two main areas: User Modeling and Recommender Systems. The first subject deals with correct modeling of tourists' profiles using wide variety techniques, such as stereotypes, keywords psychological models. These besides presenting user interests great coherence completeness, allow for reduction several current problems cold start issue, gray sheep individuals overspecialization....
In this paper, we describe how a learning platform that takes into account the student's preferences, personality and emotions could prompt better results. This model will assess emotional state of student in an online environment by introducing techniques Affective Computing can capture based on that, adapt course to characteristics needs order get improvement Students, as individuals, differ their social, intellectual, physical, psychological, emotional, ethnic characteristics. Also,...
In this paper, we present the tours planning system entitled TOURSPLAN, along with a new lightweight user modelling (UM) process intended to work as tourism recommendation in commercial environment. The tackles issues like cold start, grey sheep and over-specialisation through rich model application of gradual forgetting function collected action history. Also, significant performance improvements were achieved regarding previously proposed UM process.
Summary One of the most important factors to determine success an organization is quality decisions made. Supporting a decision‐making process complex task, mainly when decision‐makers are dispersed. Group decision support systems (GDSSs) have been studied over last decades with goal providing decision‐makers; however, their acceptance by organizations has difficult. This happens mostly due usability problems, loss interaction between decision‐makers, and consequently, information. In this...
