User-friendly systems for data visualisation and analysis to support clinical decision-making

To support medical decision-making, data must not only be collected, but also processed, integrated and made usable. Medical and healthcare data collection and storage is growing rapidly and this information is playing an increasingly important role as the basis for medical decisions, both in the clinic and with patients.

Our projects include interactive visualization to enable explorative analysis. User-friendly interfaces are fundamental for ensuring system usability and effective communication of results.
