My Health Translated
Nearly 3 out of 4 United States veterans live with a chronic disease and almost half of these veterans have 3 or more chronic conditions. Managing these conditions requires a daunting volume of information, such as medications, appointments, and tests. For this challenge, our team of student designers and physicians transformed data from the medical record into a dynamic and easy-to-use format designed to support veterans in integrating personal health information into their daily routine. We placed a specific emphasis on medication management, as this is one of the most important, yet complicated, tasks veterans face in living with chronic illnesses. Our novel visualization display provides daily medication information based on prescription data in the medical record, all the while being housed within the broader context of the VA’s Blue Button data initiative.
