PROJECT TITLE :

Visualization of multivariate time-series data in a neonatal ICU

ABSTRACT :

Existing visualizations within the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) frequently obscure necessary trends in clinical information presented to the clinician in tabular displays or stacked univariate plots of variables as a perform of your time. Scales and alarm limits in clinical displays are primarily based on knowledge that's typical for adults (i.e., adult “norm knowledge”), resulting in confusing or misleading displays in the NICU. In premature infants, norm knowledge differs considerably both from adult values and among infants of differing gestational ages. Interfaces designed to display adult values hinder the perception of clinical changes. We have a tendency to developed a visualization that has an integrated, multivariate interface for representing laboratory and physiological data in the NICU. We present its style and evaluation and discuss potential future applications of this visualization that is interactive, animated, and personalized to an individual patient thus that clinicians can quickly and efficiently acknowledge vital changes in the patient's condition.
