Interactive Visualization of Medication Histories

The objectives of this book were to design a visualization of patient-specific medication histories and to implement an interactive prototype, which can be used in daily treatment settings. For this purpose, the characteristics and use cases of existing projects addressing visualization of medication data were examined. Both, projects in literature and medication documentation deployed in Austrian hospitals were analyzed. Furthermore, qualitative interviews were conducted with Austrian doctors, in order to assess their current requirements regarding medication documentation. Both areas of examination showed potential for improvement.
