Perspective Wall Technique for Visualizing and Interpreting Medical Data

Abstract

Increasing the improvement of confidence and comprehensibility of medical data as well as the possibility of using the human capacities in medical pattern recognition is a significant interest for the coming years. In this context, we have created a visual knowledge discovery from databases application. It has been developed to efficiently and accurately understand a large collection of fixed and temporal patients’ data in the Intensive Care Unit in order to prevent the nosocomial infection occurrence. It is based on data visualization technique which is the perspective wall. Its application is a good example of the usefulness of data visualization techniques in the medical domain.
