Abstract
Doctors must analyse the extensive amount of medical data before diagnosing a patient and
prescribing treatment. This is especially complicated for patients with multiple chronic
conditions, who can be treated by different specialists. The advent of electronic health records
granted doctors the opportunity to have all the available information at hand – on the computers
at their workstations. However, the challenge of representing these data in an easy-to understand way remained.
The Medi_Vizz application allows doctors to visualise individual
patients' diagnoses and laboratory analysis data. Medi_Vizz has a user-friendly interface and
creates comprehensible plots with medical data. Doctors can utilise these plots in clinical
decision support, while scientists can examine disease progression in individual patients,
making Medi_Vizz a valuable tool for both general healthcare and scientific research.
