Summary
Holistic integrated visualizations are crucial for rapid understanding of complex data in time-critical fields like healthcare. This study identifies key design principles for these visualizations, addressing a gap in current guidelines.
Area of Science:
- Information Visualization
- Human-Computer Interaction
- Data Science
Background:
- Effective data presentation is vital for quick interpretation, especially in healthcare for life-saving insights.
- Holistic visualizations integrate multiple data variables for rapid situational awareness and decision-making.
- A gap exists in specific guidelines for designing holistic, integrated visualizations for time-critical contexts.
Purpose of the Study:
- Establish holistic integrated visualizations as a distinct type for time-critical contexts.
- Identify applicable design principles and guidelines for creating these visualizations.
Main Methods:
- Systematic literature search using PRISMA guidelines across 6 major databases.
- Keywords: visualizations, guidelines, taxonomy.
- Included studies published up to August 2024.
Main Results:
- 46 papers were reviewed, focusing on holistic understanding, integrated presentation, and rapid information processing.
- No specific guidelines were found for holistic, integrated visualizations in time-critical contexts.
- Extracted and categorized 60 guidelines, condensed into 5 main proposed guidelines.
Conclusions:
- Holistic integrated information visualizations represent a unique use case requiring specialized design guidelines.
- The proposed 5 main guidelines offer a foundation for designing visualizations that enable holistic and rapid information processing.
- These guidelines aim to improve decision-making in time-critical scenarios.
