Systems, methods, and computer program products to perform an operation comprising identifying, in a first thread comprising a plurality of messages outputted for display on a display device, a first concept in a text of a first message of the plurality of messages, identifying a second concept in a text of a second message of the plurality of messages of the first thread, upon determining that the second concept is different than the first concept, generating a second thread comprising a subset of the plurality of messages, wherein each message in the subset of the plurality of message is related to the second concept, and outputting, based on a set of user preferences, the subset of the plurality of messages of the second thread for display on the display device.

Provided a method, system, and article of manufacture for updating workflow nodes in a workflow. A workflow program processes user input at one node in a workflow comprised of nodes and workflow paths connecting the nodes, wherein the user provides user input to traverse through at least one workflow path to reach the current node. The workflow program transmits information on a current node to an analyzer. The analyzer processes the information on the current node to determine whether there are modifications to at least one subsequent node following the current node over at least one workflow path from the current node. The analyzer transmits to the workflow program an update including modifications to the at least one subsequent node in response to determining the modifications.

Contactless blood pressure monitoring, includes: illuminating a blood vessel of a patient with infrared ('IR') light; receiving, by an IR camera through a polarizing filter, IR light reflected by the patient; capturing at a time based on a heartrate of the patient, a first IR image of the blood vessel of the patient when the blood vessel is distended; determining, from the first image, a maximum diameter of the blood vessel; capturing at a time based on the heartrate of the patient, a second IR image of the blood vessel of the patient when the blood vessel is contracted; determining, from the second IR image, a minimum diameter of the blood vessel; and calculating blood pressure of the patient in dependence upon the maximum and minimum diameters of the blood vessel.

Generating customized on-demand videos from automated test scripts is provided. Responsive to receiving a request for an instruction on performing a task on a computer, a database of automated test scripts may be searched to identify a set of test scripts that comprise a set of executable actions associated with the task. An automation test sequence associated with performing of the task is built based on test scripts identified in the searching. The automation test sequence is run on a machine. While the automation test sequence is running on the machine, screen activities of the running automation test sequence are recorded to generate a video, e.g., by running a video capture program.

Provided are a method, system, and article of manufacture for updating a workflow when a user reaches an impasse in the workflow. A workflow program processes user input at a current node in a workflow comprised of nodes and workflow paths connecting the nodes, and wherein the user provides user input to traverse through at least one workflow path to reach the current node. The workflow program processes user input at the current node to determine whether there is a next node in the workflow for the processed user input. The workflow program transmits information on the current node to an analyzer in response to determining that there is no next node in the workflow. The analyzer processes the information on the current node to determine whether there are modifications to the current node. The analyzer transmits to the workflow program an update including the determined modifications to the current node in response to determining the modification.

Updating a workflow when a user reaches an impasse in the workflow

Provided are a method, system, and article of manufacture for updating a workflow when a user reaches an impasse in the workflow. A workflow program processes user input at a current node in a workflow and provides user input to traverse through at least one workflow path to reach the current node. The workflow program processes user input at the current node to determine whether there is a next node in the workflow for the processed user input. The workflow program transmits information on the current node to an analyzer in response to determining that there is no next node in the workflow. If there are modifications to the current node, then the analyzer transmits to the workflow program an update including the determined modifications to the current node in response to determining the modification.

Provided are a method, system, and article of manufacture for generating templates of nodes to structure content objects and steps to process the content objects. A template is generated having a plurality of first level nodes representing a flow of tasks. A set of second level nodes representing a flow of steps is generated for at least one of the first level nodes to collectively perform the task represented by the first level node. A content object including information for a step represented by the node is associated with at least one node in the second level. Links are generated among the first level nodes and in each set of second level nodes indicating a logical ordering of the nodes and a direction of the flow of the tasks represented by the first level nodes and the flow of steps represented by the second level nodes. An end-user graphical user interface is generated from the generated nodes and links to direct an end user through the flow of tasks and steps represented by the nodes.
