I-CovidVis – A Visual Analytics Tool for Interoperable Healthcare Databases using Graphs

The current COVID-19 pandemic has promoted the periodic release of several health databases aimed at discovering relationships in the data, detecting similar problems in patients, and studying the evolution of the disease. A way to exploit the data is to use visualization techniques, which can lead to the discovery of insights and patterns, as well as to guide analysis procedures to understand the data. In this paper, we present I-CovidVis, a visualization tool to explore data from interoperable healthcare systems, able to compare and navigate in both global and local perspectives. Our approach is to model data as a graph and explore its structural and temporal views. Our proposal facilitates the perception of patterns, trends, periodicity, and anomalies, resulting in faster decision making.
