Common Ground: An Interactive Visual Exploration and Discovery for Complex Health Data

Abstract

The overarching objective of this work is to develop a novel, user-centric visual paradigm to enhance situational awareness by providing an effective visualization of large, complex and heterogeneous population health data. Presently, users of complex health data are overwhelmed with charts, graphs, tables and maps. Our goal is to develop a novel health data weather map visualization prototype that provides a dynamic, interactive presentation of complex healthcare data. We received a 6 months no cost extension and IRB extensions from both the University of Utah and Intermountain Healthcare. We received sample data from ESP and from Intermountain Healthcare. We have been working with Intermountain Healthcare on a new rich dataset extracted directly from medical notes using natural language processing (NLP) algorithms. Developed two visual analytics displays, the second of which is specifically designed for the new type of data.
