Abstract— An intelligent water droplet-based evaluation of health oriented distance learning of health oriented distance learning (HODL) systems integrating e-learning, e-health and usability aspects of Personal Health Record (PHR) systems is proposed. It supports HODL information processing towards a more comprehensive goal. For measuring HODL usability a checklist is used. Usability dimensions and checklist items are selected using an intelligent water droplet-based computational intelligence model. The main advantage of the methodology is the selection of most critical usability dimensions and items and thus supporting user-oriented design of HODL systems.

Index Terms— health, e-learning, e-health, usability, information systems, evaluation and design, intelligent water droplets
