Towards medhub: A Self-Service Platform for Analysts and Physicians

Abstract

Combining clinical and omics data can improve both daily clinical routines and research to gain more insights into complex medical procedures. We present the results of our first phase in a multi-year collaboration with analysts and physicians aiming at improved inter-disciplinary biomarker identification. We also outline our user-centered approach along its challenges, describe the intermediate technical artifacts that serve as a basis for summative and formative evaluation for the second project phase. Finally, we sketch the road ahead and how we intend to combine visualization research with user-centered design through problem-based prioritization.
