Visualization System for the Impact of Context Open Data in Clinical Settings

Stud Health Technol Inform. 2022 Jun 29:295:128-131. doi: 10.3233/SHTI220678.

Abstract

The usage of context open data, such as environmental data, socio-economic resources, etc., in clinical settings has been limited till now. But in recent years the number of studies that consider these factors is increasing. However, for clinicians, researchers or other stakeholders to be able to use this information in clinical practice, appropriate visualizations tools must be developed. At the same time, the data are generally displayed in formats that are difficult to interpret. The use of geolocalized visualizing tools through maps provides a better understanding in most cases. The proposed tool aims to contribute to the development of systems that can help to the exploitation of clinical and context open data, making them more easily interpretable.
