1. A method for providing hypermedia elements to generate a graphical user interface, the method comprising:
transmitting, upon receiving input from a user of a portable user device within a graphical user interface of the portable user device, to a facility server of a facility, a request to access information corresponding to a relative of the user, the relative being located within the facility, wherein the request comprises an identifier of the relative, wherein the information comprises an itinerary of the relative corresponding to a procedure of the relative;
displaying, responsive to the facility server determining the user is an authorized user authorized to access the information corresponding to the relative, within the graphical user interface of the portable user device a hypermedia icon comprising an image of the relative;
displaying, within the graphical user interface of the portable user device, at least one hypermedia element corresponding to a current status of the relative with respect to the itinerary of the relative;
displaying, within the graphical user interface of the portable user device, at least one action hypermedia element representing actions that can be executed by the user, wherein in response to the user interacting with one of the at least one action hypermedia elements the facility server receives a query corresponding to the one of the at least one action hypermedia elements, wherein the at least one action hypermedia element comprises an element for a list of activities within a predetermined proximity of the portable user device; and
displaying, within the graphical user interface of the portable user device, a recommendation for the user based upon a remaining duration of the procedure identified from the current status of the relative with respect to the itinerary.
