# Visual Analytics of Electronic Health Records with a Focus on Time
Concept
This survey reviews the existing Visual Analytics and Visualization work with a focus on EHRs [1] [2]. The authors structure the paper around technical challenges drawn from earlier work [3].
Classification
There is no clear classification available in the survey, nor a classification table. Systems are classified by their technical challenges listed in Section Challenge below.
The authors emphasize on VisuExplorer [4], Gnaeus [5], Gravi++[6], TimeCleanser [7] and LifeLine [8] with detailed descriptions of the systems.
They also briefly review 10 other state-of-the-art EHR systems with very limited context.
Challenges
The authors identify 5 technical and societal challenges in existing implementations.
- Complexity of time-oriented data.
- Intertwining patient condition with treatment processes.
- Scale from single patients to cohorts.
- Data quality and uncertainty.
- User interaction and user-centered design.
Unsolved Problems
- Utilization of real-time sensor data is still unexplored.
- Collaborative analysis with multiple devices and screens.
- Patient involvement in managing health records.
