Patient profiles Wonderful Wednesdays

Detailed patient level data is meant to be an informed representation of the patient and what happened to the patient during the course of the study. These visualisations can help to get a quick overview on demographic information as well as exposure, concomitant medications, adverse events and laboratory data.

Designing visual patient profiles

The visualisations below present patient level data in one plot or multiple aligned plots. Interactive visualisations are shown allowing to expand and collapse selected details. The use of color and pre-attentive attributes is supporting easy interpretation of the data.

Example 1. One plot solution

This visualisations gives a time-aligned overview on study drug intake, adverse events, laboratory values and other information with very little clutter. Blood pressure is given as line plot with values. Color coding is used for abnormal values and AE severity.

This table with embedded graphics is giving an overview over all subjects with the option to expand and collapse additional information. Demographic data are displayed in symbols, gauge charts, text, color coded bar charts, or color supported descriptive text respectively. Population ranges are given as gray background where possible.
