Abstract

Healthcare data visualization is challenging due to the needs for integrating geospatial information, temporal information, text information, and heterogenious health attributes within a common visual context. We recently developed a web-based healthcare data visualization system, Health-Terrain, based on a Notifiable Condition Detector (NCD) use case. In this paper, we will describe this system, with emphasis on the visualization techniques developed specifically for healthcare data. Two new visualization techniques will be described: (1) A spatial texture based visualization approach for multi-dimensional attributes and time-series data; (2) A spiral theme plot technique for visualizing time-variant patient data.
