“Less words, more pictures”: creating and sharing data visualizations from a remote health monitoring system with clinicians to improve cancer pain management

Clinicians desired higher-level (i.e., less granular/detailed) views of complex sensing data with a "take home" message that can be quickly processed. Orienting clinicians to unfamiliar, contextual data sources from remote health monitoring systems (such as environmental data and quality of life data from caregivers) and integrating these data into clinical workflows is critical to ensure these types of data can optimally inform the patient's plan of care. Future work should focus on customizing data visualization formats and viewing options, as well as explore ethical issues related to sharing data visualizations with key stakeholders.

Abstract

Clinicians desired higher-level (i.e., less granular/detailed) views of complex sensing data with a "take home" message that can be quickly processed. Orienting clinicians to unfamiliar, contextual data sources from remote health monitoring systems (such as environmental data and quality of life data from caregivers) and integrating these data into clinical workflows is critical to ensure these types of data can optimally inform the patient's plan of care. Future work should focus on customizing data visualization formats and viewing options, as well as explore ethical issues related to sharing data visualizations with key stakeholders.
