A 'weave' is a meeting of two groups of ribbons. Each crossing carries information and interaction. Ribbons also show a wide range of information through color, width, texture, label and relative positioning. With a new patient presenting signs and symptoms, a new map develops as data come in and the clinical team records decisions. Instead of the traditional maze of jumps from window to window, DataWeaver maps the whole history on a single screen, as both guide and interaction tool.
Details expand where needed, with a moving lens or a data window.
DataWeaver displays information already present in the underlying system, feeds information into the system, and correlates specified groups of new and existing data. The resulting single screen gives immediate access to all clinical data, events, interactions and ancillary information. The clinical user can navigate fast to the desired point of the process, and there enter or retrieve data fast and intuitively. The funded project is now complete and partners are being sought for commercial deployment.
