Area of Science:

  • Medical informatics
  • Health data visualization
  • Clinical diagnostics

Background:

  • Multiphasic medical examinations generate complex data.
  • Graphical methods offer concise data representation.
  • Existing methods may lack intuitive interpretation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate the 'face method' for visualizing multiphasic health data.
  • To demonstrate the practicality and recognizability of the face method.
  • To explore applications in clinical settings like anemia diagnosis.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a computer system to implement the 'face method'.
  • Integrated health data (erythrocyte count, hemoglobin, blood pressure, etc.) into a database.
  • Employed keywords to generate visual 'faces' representing health status.

Main Results:

  • The face method provides a visually appealing and easily recognizable representation of health data.
  • It effectively consolidates multiple health indicators into a single graphical output.
  • Demonstrated utility in differential diagnosis of anemia and monitoring health changes over time.

Conclusions:

  • The face method is a practical and intuitive graphical tool for interpreting multiphasic medical examination results.
  • Its visual nature enhances data comprehension and clinical decision-making.
  • Offers potential for broader application in health monitoring and diagnostics.
