1. A method for analyzing the usage of a tablet-device application used by a particular user, comprising:
- selecting a display of the application to be analyzed, wherein the display comprises medical information and lacks an interactive component;
monitoring touch events performed on the display for a plurality of tablet devices;
storing the monitored touch events on a database;
querying the database for zooming and repositioning touch events performed on the display between two particular calendar dates, at a particular geographic location, and performed by users within an age range centered on the particular user'"'"'s age, with a level of medical experience and a medical specialty similar to the particular user'"'"'s level of medical experience and medical specialty, resulting in a reduced set of touch events;
identifying touch patterns from the reduced set of touch events, wherein the touch patterns comprise other users of the display of the application moving the medical information into a field of view on their respective tablets after performing a preceding touch event on their respective tablets;
monitoring subsequent touch events by the particular user of the tablet, wherein the subsequent touch events by the particular user comprise the preceding touch event;
detecting a match between the touch patterns and the subsequent touch events of the particular user;
predicting, in response to detecting the match, a possible touch event for the particular user;
modifying, in response to the possible touch event, the display on the tablet for the particular user, wherein modifying the display comprises moving the medical information into the field of view on the tablet of the particular user; and
recreating a viewing experience on a computer device of an administrator of the application, wherein the recreated viewing experience is based upon the touch patterns among the reduced set of touch events, and wherein the recreated viewing experience shows each touch event from the reduced set of touch events, the effect of each touch event from the reduced set of touch events, the predicted possible touch event, and the modification of the application.

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.
