Intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs) can offer a scalable alternative to instruction for underserved populations which can help in healthcare related fields, such as breast cancer, where education can greatly bridge inequity gaps. Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths in the Hispanic population. Breast cancer survivors often experience ongoing diagnosis and treatment-related symptoms that negatively impact their health-related quality of life. In this paper we review existing ITSs in healthcare that cater to low-literacy population education with the goal of building a prototype that improves the quality of ITSs in healthcare for Hispanic breast cancer survivors.
