<h3>Importance</h3> Postoperative recovery is difficult to define or measure. Research addressing interventions aimed improve after abdominal surgery often focuses on measures such as duration of hospital stay and complication rates. Although these clinical parameters are relevant, understanding patients' perspectives regarding postoperative fundamental guiding patient-centered care. <h3>Objective</h3> To elucidate the meaning from perspective patients undergoing surgery. <h3>Design,...
This paper is a call to action for research and discussion on data visualization education. As evolves spreads through our professional personal lives, we need understand how support empower broad diverse community of learners in visualization. Data Visualization dynamic discipline that combines knowledge from different fields, tailored suit audiences contexts, frequently incorporates tacit knowledge. complex nature leads series interrelated challenges Driven by lack consolidated knowledge,...
Cardiovascular diseases are one of the leading causes mortality globally. Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programs crucial for patients recovering from cardiac events, as they help reduce risk recurrent events and support patient recovery. The patient's journey in CR spans stages before, during, after program. Patients have to progress through each stage successfully complete entire get full benefits programs, but numerous barriers within this can hinder progression. This study aims explore...
A driving force behind the design of increasingly large and high resolution displays (LHRDs) has been need to support explosion data in natural sciences such as physics, chemistry, biology. However, our experience with an LHRD accessible researchers across multiple disciplines shown that they are useful for a wide range research activities involving images data. \ We conducted in-context, semi-structured interviews from variety about their experiences using own Notably, it became apparent...
With the growth of data sizes, visualizing them becomes more complex. Desktop displays are insufficient for presenting and collaborating on complex visualizations. Large could provide necessary space to demo or present However, designing developing visualizations such pose distinct challenges. Identifying these challenges is essential researchers, designers, developers in field visualization. In this study, we aim gain insights into encountered by designers when creating large displays. We...
We provide an integrated view of patients' and clinicians' perspectives on the communication challenges faced when patients present their medical issues to clinicians. By combining results a literature review from both HCI with clinician interviews explicitly about in-clinic issues, we are able offer more complete picture these crucial challenges. discuss similarities subtle but important differences between perspectives. While clinicians often talking same issue, found that they differ...
<h3>Importance</h3> The overprescription of opioids to surgical patients is recognized as an important factor contributing the opioid crisis. However, value prescribing analgesia (OA) vs opioid-free (OFA) after postoperative discharge remains uncertain. <h3>Objective</h3> To investigate feasibility conducting a full-scale randomized clinical trial (RCT) assess comparative effectiveness OA OFA outpatient general surgery. <h3>Design, Setting, and Participants</h3> This parallel, 2-group,...
Postfracture acute pain is often inadequately managed in older adults. Mobile health (mHealth) technologies can offer opportunities for self-management of pain; however, insufficient apps exist management after a fracture, and none are designed an adult population.This study aims to design, develop, evaluate mHealth app prototype using human-centered design approach support adults the postfracture pain.This used multidisciplinary user-centered approach. Overall, 7 stakeholders (ie, 1...

Designing patient-collected health data visualizations to support communicating patient during clinical visits is a challenging problem due the heterogeneity of parties involved: patients, healthcare providers, and systems. Designers must ensure that all parties' needs are met. This complexity makes it find definitive solution can work for every individual. We have approached this research problem-communicating visits-as wicked problem. In article, we outline how characteristics apply our...
Stacked graphs are a visualization technique popular in casual scenarios for representing multiple time-series. Variations of stacked have been focused on reducing the distortion individual streams because foundational perceptual studies suggest that variably curved slopes may make it difficult to accurately read and compare values. We contribute this discussion by formally comparing relative readability basic area charts, ThemeRivers, streamgraphs our own interactive straightening baselines...
This paper draws together nine strategies for creative visualization activities. Teaching often involves running learning activities where students perform tasks that directly support one or more topics the teacher wishes to address in lesson. As a group of educators and researchers visualization, we reflect on our experiences. Our experiences range from dividing into smaller parts, considering different materials, encouraging debate. With this paper, hope is can encourage, inspire, guide...

Stroke is one of the leading causes disability worldwide. The efficacy recovery determined by a variety factors, including patient adherence to rehabilitation programs. One way increase their program show patients progress that visualized in simple and intuitive way. We begin gather preliminary information on Functional Capacity, Motor Function, Mood/cognition from occupational Therapists at Bruyere Hospital gain better understanding how stroke data collected within in-patient centers....
Sexual dysfunction is an important, and often overlooked, sequela of rectal cancer treatment with significant implications for patients' quality life. The aim this study was to explore information needs regarding sexual health after their experiences accessing on throughout the care continuum. secondary surgeons' perspectives gain insight into providing following surgery.
We present our in-progress work on co-designing a visualization tool for presenting unstructured text. have conducted focus group with variety of professionals who regularly analyze large corpora Our preliminary insights indicate there is an unmet need to visually explore the dynamics between entities and actors extracted from Additionally, contain multiple perspectives same series events. There disentangle these show narratives in data. In future work, we will co-design low-fidelity...
Recently, we have seen growing interest among patients with chronic conditions to track their health-related data. There are many wearable devices available different health However, tracking pain is mostly done by using pen and paper or mobile apps. In collaboration a healthcare professional designed portable tracker, PainBit. To gain an understanding of patients' perspectives on our conducted two case studies living pain. We asked use PainBit for weeks later semi-structured interviews...
