“…DeRidder et al developed a combined approach that retrieves data from Personal Health Records (PHRs), and presents them to individual patients using a “3D medical graphical avatar” [ 11 ]. The solution is built using HTML5 and WebGL to render 3D graphics using the web browser.…”

BackgroundThe way we look at data has a great impact on how we can understand it, particularly when the data is related to health and wellness. Due to the increased use of self-tracking devices and the ongoing shift towards preventive medicine, better understanding of our health data is an important part of improving the general welfare of the citizens. Electronic Health Records, self-tracking devices and mobile applications provide a rich variety of data but it often becomes difficult to understand. We implemented the hFigures library inspired on the hGraph visualization with additional improvements. The purpose of the library is to provide a visual representation of the evolution of health measurements in a complete and useful manner.ResultsWe researched the usefulness and usability of the library by building an application for health data visualization in a health coaching program. We performed a user evaluation with Heuristic Evaluation, Controlled User Testing and Usability Questionnaires. In the Heuristics Evaluation the average response was 6.3 out of 7 points and the Cognitive Walkthrough done by usability experts indicated no design or mismatch errors. In the CSUQ usability test the system obtained an average score of 6.13 out of 7, and in the ASQ usability test the overall satisfaction score was 6.64 out of 7.ConclusionsWe developed hFigures, an open source library for visualizing a complete, accurate and normalized graphical representation of health data. The idea is based on the concept of the hGraph but it provides additional key features, including a comparison of multiple health measurements over time. We conducted a usability evaluation of the library as a key component of an application for health and wellness monitoring. The results indicate that the data visualization library was helpful in assisting users in understanding health data and its evolution over time.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12911-016-0275-6) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…It helps the public health decision makers to take preventive actions by visualizing the community health map and relative characterization of variables. In order to analyze the health data visually, Ridder et al [6] developed a web based public health map application. A framework for collecting public health information based on GeoSMS from the health workers are developed by [7].…”

The causes of the many communicable diseases have some link with the geographical locations. In the developing countries, the patient information are not often collected systemically due to lack of technological support and scarcity of health professionals. As a result, the actual causes of different community diseases are not properly investigated and it delays to take preventive actions, especially in the rural areas. In this work, a service oriented framework has been proposed for collecting the health information of the patients along with their actual geo-locations to generate the health map of the region which may help in adopting mitigation measures. A mobile application has been developed for collecting these information by the health workers or the health volunteers. The application can be tuned to provide suggestive primary treatment of the disease. The collected volunteered disease information can be analyzed with respect to that geospatial information according to guidelines of the health experts and the disease map can produced on-the-fly. The disease map helps to predict the spreading trend of a disease in the context of geospatial attributes. This may facilitate, the public health decision makers to take preventive actions to mitigate the spread of the diseases.

“…A vast literature has devoted to exploring visualization for self-reflection and behavior change [42]- [44], health risk prediction [45], and making medical data more intuitive [18], [46], [47], and even medicine information (leaflets) more understandable to consumers [48], [49]. In the following, we review some prominent examples related to HWBI presentation to informal caregivers.…”

Previous work has focused on designing and evaluating information communication technology (ICT) tools for improving the coordination, organization of care practices, and to a less extent, the mediation of care communication among various involved actors. Our work contributes to addressing this gap with a specific emphasis on aged care, exploring communication practices, related challenges and design principles that should guide the design of technology-mediated information sharing. We do this by conducting three sets of user studies iterating on design mockups of increasing fidelity, through semi-structured interviews and workshops with nursing home (NH) staff and residents' family members in four Italian nursing homes. The qualitative and quantitative results point to the potential of computer-mediated information sharing in this context, and to the importance (and challenges) of tailoring information and presentation to people's needs and traits, and assisting care professionals in managing the information flow and proper communication.
