1. A system comprising:
- a processor; and
a memory in communication with the processor, the memory containing program instructions that, when executed by the processor, are configured to cause the processor to perform a method for tracking touch events relating to a visual display on a first electronic device, wherein the visual display comprises medical information and lacks an interactive component, the method comprising;
identifying a set of environmental parameters, wherein the environmental parameters provide information regarding an environment in which the visual display is used on the first electronic device by a user and comprise a level of medical experience of the user and a type of medical specialty of the user;
accessing a plurality of touch event data sets for the visual display, the plurality of touch event data sets corresponding to the environmental parameters and associated with the visual display as used on at least a second electronic device;
identifying touch patterns from the plurality of touch event data sets, wherein the touch patterns comprise other users of the visual display moving the medical information into a field of view on their respective electronic devices after performing a preceding touch event on their respective electronic devices, wherein each of the other users has a level of medical experience and a type of medical specialty that are similar to that of the user;
monitoring subsequent touch events by the user of the visual display, wherein the subsequent touch events by the user comprise the preceding touch eventdetecting a match between the touch patterns and the subsequent touch events of the user;
predicting, in response to detecting the match, a possible touch event for the user; and
modifying, in response to the possible touch event, the visual display on the first electronic device for the user, wherein modifying the visual display comprises moving the medical information into the field of view on the first electronic device.

Abstract
Touch events can be predicted relative to a visual display by maintaining a database of aggregated touch event history data relative to the visual display and from a plurality of touch screen devices. The database can be queried according to a set of input parameters defining an environment for use of the visual display. The results from the querying of the database can be analyzed to predict a set of touch events within the environment and based upon inferences obtained from the results. A representation of the set of touch events can be displayed along with the visual display.

2. A computer program product, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a computer to cause the computer to track touch events relating to a visual display on a first electronic device, wherein the visual display comprises medical information and lacks an interactive component, the tracking comprising:
-
identifying a set of environmental parameters, wherein the environmental parameters provide information regarding an environment in which the visual display is used on the first electronic device by a user and comprise a level of medical experience of the user and a type of medical specialty of the user; accessing a plurality of touch event data sets for the visual display, the plurality of touch event data sets corresponding to the environmental parameters and associated with the visual display as used on at least a second electronic device; identifying touch patterns from the plurality of touch event data sets, wherein the touch patterns comprise other users of the visual display moving the medical information into a field of view on their respective electronic devices after performing a preceding touch event on their respective electronic devices, wherein each of the other users has a level of medical experience and a type of medical specialty that are similar to that of the user; monitoring subsequent touch events by the user of the visual display, wherein the subsequent touch events by the user comprise the preceding touch event detecting a match between the touch patterns and the subsequent touch events of the user; predicting, in response to detecting the match, a possible touch event for the user; and modifying, in response to the possible touch event, the visual display on the first electronic device for the user, wherein modifying the visual display comprises moving the medical information into the field of view on the first electronic device.
