LifeTrack: decades of EHR data in a single view

Abstract

There are situations where we need to understand a person's health register data, get an overview of it and inspect the details of interest, preferably in a short period of time. Typical situations are a doctor seeing a patient for the very first time, or a researcher trying to understand what makes a person an outlier in a patient cohort. We have developed a visualization tool, called LifeTrack, that will show a person's whole health register history in a single view. The structure of the LifeTrack data view is based on concepts familiar to the target audience, and allows one to see both the overview and details of the data.
