1. A method for using physiological status data to determine whether a user would benefit from user support intervention comprising:
- defining one or more types of user physiological status data to be obtained and analyzed;
defining threshold parameters for the defined one or more types of user physiological status data to be obtained and analyzed;
generating threshold parameter data representing the defined threshold parameters for the defined one or more types of user physiological status data to be obtained and analyzed;
storing the threshold parameter data in a partitioned threshold parameter data section of a memory device and/or system;
monitoring one or more user support events associated with providing support to a user, the monitored user support event being a human-software interaction being undertaken by the user, the human-software interaction including a data entry event being performed by the user;
generating known user support event data;
obtaining user physiological status data associated with the user, the obtained user physiological status data being one or more of the defined one or more types of user physiological status data, the obtained user physiological status data including data acquired from measuring the user'"'"'s eye rotation;
analyzing the obtained user physiological status data, the threshold parameter data associated with the one or more types of obtained user physiological status data, and the known user support event data;
determining, based at least in part on the analysis of the obtained user physiological status data, the threshold parameter data associated with the one or more types of obtained user physiological status data, and the known user support event data, whether the user would benefit from intervention; and
providing, upon a determination that the user would benefit from intervention, an intervention notice to a user support service.

Abstract
A user'"'"'s physiological status is monitored and the resulting physiological status data is obtained and analyzed to determine whether a user would benefit from user support intervention. If it is determined that the user would benefit from intervention, an intervention notification is provided to a user support service. The user support service may then provide dynamic and responsive user support. To provide effective, efficient user support, different types of user support can be provided to the user.
