Exemplar figure, described by caption below — We are presenting the results of our first phase in a multi-year collaboration with analysts and physicians to improve biomarker identification by combining clinical and omics data. We describe our user-centered visualization and the technical artifacts used as basis for evaluation in the second project phase. The concept of our approach is based on the data-user-task triangle by Miksch et al. Since there are two user groups with different usage scenarios, the analysts and physicians are obligated to communicate on a common basis. This demand is also reflected in the task description.

Abstract

Combining clinical and omics data can improve both daily clinical routines and research to gain more insights into complex medical procedures. We present the results of our first phase in a multi-year collaboration with analysts and physicians aiming at improved inter-disciplinary biomarker identification. We also outline our user-centered approach along its challenges, describe the intermediate technical artifacts that serve as a basis for summative and formative evaluation for the second project phase. Finally, we sketch the road ahead and how we intend to combine visualization research with user-centered design through problem-based prioritization.
