Abstract: Described herein are various technologies pertaining to a patient portal interface application for a hub application that is displayed concurrently on a display with a graphical user interface (GUI) for a client electronic health record application (EHR). The hub application facilitates access to supplement applications, wherein at least one of the supplement applications is a patient portal interface application. The patient portal interface application communicates with a patient portal server to facilitate presentment of patient portal data to a user of the client EHR. The patient portal interface application provides a current context of the EHR to the patient portal server, and receives contextually-based patient portal data from the patient portal server. The contextual patient portal data is then displayed by way of a GUI of the patient portal interface application.

Abstract: A computer implemented method for automatically moderating a system response to a user's voice command. A voice command from a user is received. The voice command is associated with a system command, the system command including command requirements. A determination is the made as to whether the user is experiencing stress based on a stress level detected in the received voice command, and the command requirements dynamically adjusted when the user is determined to be experiencing stress.
