In recent years, the interest in developing personalised applications for home environment has grown since it has a wide reach in helping people in their daily activities. However, for our purposes the concept activities of daily living also need to include work and leisure activities not necessarily performed in home environments. In this article, we describe an ongoing effort to develop a generic framework for assessing ability and tailoring of support applications in the health domain. We also give an overview of the approaches that have been adopted for personalisation and user modelling to various application areas. Suggestions of future development are provided.
