We created RHEA, a framework for tracking cancer patient status over time. RHEA visualizes patient data using a standardized format, aiding in comprehensive cancer research and patient management.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Health Informatics
- Data Visualization
Background:
- Longitudinal patient data is crucial for understanding cancer progression and treatment efficacy.
- Standardized data representation is needed to facilitate large-scale analysis and collaboration in cancer research.
Purpose of the Study:
- To introduce RHEA, a novel framework for representing and visualizing longitudinal cancer patient data.
- To enable cohort-level and individual-level data visualization for cancer patients.
- To facilitate cohort generation based on standardized data.
Main Methods:
- Development of a standardized framework named RHEA.
- Implementation of data visualization using the Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership-Common Data Model (OMOP-CDM).
- Design of a dashboard with three components: cohort-level visualization, individual-level visualization, and cohort generation.
Main Results:
- RHEA provides a standardized approach to represent longitudinal cancer patient status.
- The RHEA dashboard effectively visualizes patient data at both cohort and individual levels.
- The framework supports the generation of patient cohorts for research.
Conclusions:
- RHEA offers a valuable tool for researchers and clinicians managing longitudinal cancer patient data.
- Standardized visualization through RHEA enhances the understanding of cancer patient characteristics and progression.
- The framework promotes efficient cohort identification and analysis in cancer research.
