IntroductionIntroduction

• The cartographic visualization is a useful way for presentation of statistics including health data. • The map can be also used for monitoring and analyzing of situation.• Cartographic outputs can be useful for common people, as well as specialists in health and civil services.• The topic of health data visualization is one of applications where the usage of cartographic tools is underestimated. • This paper describes the web portal for medical data presentation focused on different groups of users. • The web portal contains tools for data visualization with different levels of cartographic complexity (static map x tool for exploratory cartographic analysis x innovative cartographic „mash-ups“).

BackgroundBackgroundProject synopsis:

– „Visualisation of health data in supporting of interdisciplinary education and public relations (Visualhealth)“, 2008 – 2009.

– Project was focused on the development of interdisciplinary relationships on the edge of scientific and medical fields. The main approach concerns to the establishment of educational modules for the visualization of medical data and public relation of above mentioned fields.

Funding – Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports.Project partners:

– Masaryk University• Faculty of Science, Faculty of Social Studies

– University of Western Bohemia in Pilsen• Faculty of Applied Sciences

– The University Hospital Brno

Project goalsProject goals

1. State of the art analysis – contemporary health data and their visualization within the Czech Republic.

2. Development of cartographic tools for health data and using for visualization of selected diagnoses.

3. Web portal for health data visualization and interdisciplinary research.

GoalGoal 11

State of the art analysis – contemporary health data and their visualization within the Czech Republic.

Main results:• Incidence – Prevalence – Mortality for cancer• Prevalence – number of patients living with diagnosis.• Indicator of contemporary and expected health care expenditures – increasing year to year.• Prevalence data men/woman according to age, diagnoses and clinical stages in regions of Czech Republic for 1989-2005. • Statistical modelling of predicted development to 2015 – estimated cancer expenditures nearly 500 mill. EUR.

GoalGoal 22

Development of cartographic tools for health data and using for visualization of selected diagnoses.

Main results:–Visualization tools – 4 basic types for

different end users. –Based on (Cartography)3 model

Classic maps but generated dynamically from database on demand of user.

Interactive maps Interactive maps –– TimeSeriesTimeSeries tooltool

Tool for statistical time series presentation. User has possibilities to change the map appearance, to change region level of map, to animate selected time period etc.

Google Earth mashGoogle Earth mash--up up Thematic maps that uses global map source of Google Earth. Statistical trend in time can be searched in animation.

GoalGoal 33

Web portal for health data visualization and interdisciplinary research.Main results:

– Web portal design and development http://zdravi.geogr.muni.cz.

– Health data presentation, references to other sources of information.

– Interactive and interdisciplinary educational documents.
