“…With reference again to Schoffelen et al's (2015) 'complex entanglement', and the question posed in 3 above, what progress did we make, through our visualisations, in untangling the inherent complexity of the hospital ecosystem, of the co--dependency of staff, of pathogen behaviours, and of their (i.e., both staff's and pathogens') interactions with the setting and to make this 'more articulate, obvious, engaging or clear' while being 'transparent and readable'?…”

Training in infection prevention and control (IPC) measures is crucial to minimise the incidence of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), a growing cause of patient illness and death in hospital. This paper describes a participative approach to developing a prototype tablet-based digital training tool using dynamic visualisation-led techniques to raise awareness and understanding of IPC and HAIs for hospital-based staff. An evidence-based and iterative visualisation prototyping process was used to engage staff and invite contributions from across a number of roles within the NHS, a typically hierarchical sector. Findings suggest the visualisation-led approach was helpful in articulating the behaviours of pathogens and staff and their interactions within the complex setting and service ecology of the NHS and in making IPC training materials clearer and more engaging.

“…Schofellen et al ask "How to visualise the dynamic backstories of an issue in a readable way, in order to engage people in a participatory process around this issue?" [34]. While initial engagement with the personal view is highly likely (it is placed centrally in a user's profile page) its necessarily compact representation conflicts with the need to show these rich "backstories" of interactions.…”

“…Or, a click could show you the little circles (shown as in the bunched circles) inside the donut". This strategy of balancing transparency and readability relates to the "staged interaction" suggestion of Schofellen et al, whereby initial readability is prioritised and transparency is introduced gradually, which will guide our subsequent iteration [34].…”

“…Visualisations for participatory action have been investigated by Schoffelen et al, whose challenges in engaging and informing passers-by with visual representations in public spaces closely align with the challenges of digital visualisations for community-driven platforms [34]. As well as ensuring that a visualisation solution can be easily interpreted by non-technical users, it must also allow users to trace the 'backstories' behind the representation, to understand the social objectives of community members.…”

Online communities that form through the introduction of sociotechnical platforms require significant effort to cultivate and sustain. Providing open, transparent information on community behaviour can motivate participation from community members themselves, while also providing platform administrators with detailed interaction dynamics. However, challenges arise in both understanding what information is conducive to engagement and sustainability, and then how best to represent this information to platform stakeholders. Towards a better understanding of these challenges, we present the design, implementation, and evaluation of a set of simple visualisations integrated into a Collective Awareness Platform for Social Innovation platform titled commonfare.net. We discuss the promise and challenge of bringing social innovation into the digital age, in terms of supporting sustained platform use and collective action, and how the introduction of community visualisations has been directed towards achieving this goal.
