<p>VisuExplore is a flexible interaction and visualization framework for an electronic health record of a single patient. It presents the development of multiple heterogeneous medical variables over time. A particular focus was set on a high level of usability by using simple and easy-to-understand visual representation methods. In addition, VisuExplore is an extensible platform for further research developments. For example, three further visual representation methods were implemented and integrated during the project: a <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130312180901/http://ieg.ifs.tuwien.ac.at/projects/semzoom/">semantic zoom chart</a> (based on <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130312180901/http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/985692.985706">[Bade et al., 2004]</a>) to combine quantitative data (e.g., body temperature) and qualitative abstraction thereof (e.g., “high fever”), a <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130312180901/http://ieg.ifs.tuwien.ac.at/projects/HorizonVis/">horizon graph</a> (based on <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130312180901/http://www.stonesc.com/Vis08_Workshop/DVD/Reijner_submission.pdf">[Reijner, 2008]</a>) for a particularly space-efficient display of large amounts of numerical variables, and a document browser.</p>
<p>Figure captions:</p>
<ul>
<li>VisuExplore prototype with simple and easy-to-understand visual representation methods: Line plot, bar chart, event chart, and timeline chart.</li>
<li>VisuExplore prototype with advanced visual representation methods: Document browser, semantic zoom chart, and horizon graph</li>
<li>Interaction techniques for reading values: Mouse-over tooltip, table panel with linked selection, mouse tracker</li>
<li>Customizing the line plot: (1) default setting, (2) zoom y-axis to data range, (3) extend y-axis to zero, and (4) use smaller marks and thinner lines</li>
<li>Flexibility of visual representation: Four variables (1) in a horizon graph, (2) combined in a line plot, or (3) in separate line plots</li>
<li>Measure tool: A metaphorical tape measure for the time interval between two items (also across multiple diagrams)</li>
