A New Data Visualization and Digitization Method for Building Electronic Health Record

Electronic Health Record (EHR) contains patient-centric, electronically maintained information about individuals health information. Data Visualization that integrates with EHR is helpful for clinicians and patients to gain better insight into clinical care and management. This paper focuses on building EHR, and it contains two aspects: 1. 3D deformable human body model is applied as the health data visualization method, it focuses on human data visualization that is available for constructing customized digital human model. The model contains body surface, organs, muscle and skeleton, and is changeable together with users' real health data. 2. A design flow for automatically digitized the paper-based medical record to complete personal EHR through pictures that are obtained directly from mobile devices. The method works excellent on correcting errors happened during digitized, especially for the records with photographed, printed, and stored problems. The method achieve a 100% accuracy in digitization, tested using 200 medical reports with over 2000 pages.
