    (b) continuously(i) monitoring, utilizing one or more cameras associated with the computing device, a user'"'"'s eyes as the user interacts with the electronic health records software application, and(ii) identifying, based on the continuous monitoring, a section of the interface that the user'"'"'s gaze is focused on,(iii) wherein the continuously monitoring and identifying comprises continuously monitoring and identifying during a first period in which(A) the user'"'"'s gaze is focused on a first section of the plurality of sections, then(B) the user'"'"'s gaze moves rapidly from the first section of the plurality of sections to a second section of the plurality of sections, then(C) the user'"'"'s gaze moves rapidly from the second section to the first section, and then(D) the user'"'"'s gaze moves rapidly from the first section to the second section;

    (d) determining, based on the continuous monitoring and identification during the first period, that the user'"'"'s gaze is rapidly moving between the first section of the plurality of sections and the second section of the plurality of sections; and

    (e) modifying the interface, based on the determination that the user'"'"'s gaze is rapidly moving between the first and second sections, to emphasize the first and second sections by greying out other sections of the plurality of sections that are not the first section or the second section.
