Area of Science:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Geographic Information Systems
  • Data Visualization

Background:

  • Statistical visualization in medicine is often limited to basic geographical applications.
  • Hospitals collect extensive spatial patient data, including detailed back pain information and pain drawings.
  • Current methods lack robust computer-based management and analysis for this spatial data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose technological solutions for digitally linking back pain datasets with patient pain drawings.
  • To enable advanced computer-based data management and analysis of spatial back pain information.
  • To explore the application of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) for visualizing and managing back pain data.

Main Methods:

  • Development of technological solutions to integrate spatial back pain data with pain drawings.
