Abstract

This paper presents a tool to display patient histories and to visually query patient data, stored in the hospital database, using a mobile device. Employing Information Visualization techniques, the developed tool is able to accommodate on the screen a good amount of information that physicians require in their analysis of the clinical cases. This work has been motivated by specific requests of physicians of a pediatric hospital treating children with neurological diseases.
