Visualization of Health Data

To ensure a high level of human health protection the huge data sets gathered by the physicians of the health service have to be analyzed in an efficient way. In this paper we discuss the visualization of human health data with geographical and temporal dependence and describe the prototype of the visualization system MedVis which has been developed for the visual analysis of health data of the German state Mecklenburg-Vorppommern as part of a tele-consultation-system for the monitoring of acute health risk.
