“…My goal in asking users to compare these dashboards was to develop insight into the relative success of different design strategies to achieve actionability. This goal aligns more broadly with technical and professional communicators' interest in how the design of visual data displays impacts the delivery of information (e.g., Kostelnick, 2008;Melonçon & Warner, 2017;Yang, 2020).…”

“…In their literature review of scholarship on data visualization in TPC, Melonçon and Warner (2017) identified a need for more empirical studies of nonexpert uses of data visualizations, particularly in health and medical settings, to determine effective practices (e.g., Peck et al, 2019). Yang (2020) noted that research on interactive data visualization in health and risk communication has been limited (see also Ancker et al, 2009;Yang, 2017), calling for more research in this area, specifically to understand how various types of interactive data visualization affect health and risk perceptions and behaviors (e.g., Richards & Jacobson, 2022).…”

This article reports on a multiphase study designed to understand how nonexpert users interact with COVID-19 data dashboards, particularly in terms of the dashboards’ actionability, or ability to support decision making. Analysis of the videos and transcriptions of user interviews shows the variable relevance of proposed criteria for dashboard actionability and suggests additional criteria for users’ emotional responses to data and for the presentation of data at degrees of personal and local granularity. These findings advance an understanding of how nonexpert audiences interact with and derive value from complex visualized data.

“…Puede revelar asociaciones de áreas que están suficientemente alejadas de los datos originales, permitiendo detectar el orden en los datos previamente ocultos. (15,16,17) La presentación de información en formas estandarizadas facilita la comparación y agrupación de datos, permite identificar dependencias o tendencias, y determinar los datos que se desvían de patrones generales consistentes. Por tanto, el desarrollo del método de visualización de datos tiene un carácter esencialmente cognitivo.…”

“…Por tanto, el desarrollo del método de visualización de datos tiene un carácter esencialmente cognitivo. (15,16,17) El uso de técnicas de visualización de datos se ha diversificado con mayor prominencia en las áreas de cartografía, demografía, ciencias de los datos; desde la investigación, hasta en la gerencia. La combinación con técnicas como minería de datos, web semántica, datos abiertos enlazados, y otras técnicas avanzadas de visualización, permiten acceder y poner en valor el conocimiento científico.…”

The study addresses the importance of data visualization (DV) in today's society, and its role in the effective communication and interpretation of data in various sectors. The cognitive nature of DV and the impact on decision making were analyzed. Likewise, different DV techniques and applications in fields such as healthcare, business management, scientific research, and academia are explored. Concrete examples of the application of DV in business management, scientific research, journalism, media, politics and government management are provided; and highlights the usefulness in each of these contexts. In addition, various tools and software that are widely used for VD are mentioned.

“…While some physicians have claimed that infographics are more likely to support long-term retention of knowledge,29 study results are not undivided regarding this matter. In fact, only limited research has been conducted exploring the effectiveness of infographics and is mainly focused on patients 31 32. One comparison with text-only summaries could not find a difference in knowledge retention after 4 weeks in emergency physicians, with retention being poor in both formats 30.…”

ObjectivesInfographics have the potential to enhance knowledge translation and implementation of clinical practice guidelines at the point of care. They can provide a synoptic view of recommendations, their rationale and supporting evidence. They should be understandable and easy to use. Little evaluation of these infographics regarding user experience has taken place. We explored general practitioners’ experiences with five selected BMJ Rapid Recommendation infographics suited for primary care.MethodsAn iterative, qualitative user testing design was applied on two consecutive groups of 10 general practitioners for five selected infographics. The physicians used the infographics before clinical encounters and we performed hybrid think-aloud interviews afterwards. 20 interviews were analysed using the Qualitative Analysis Guide of Leuven.ResultsMany clinicians reported that the infographics were simple and rewarding to use, time-efficient and easy to understand. They were perceived as innovative and their knowledge basis as trustworthy and supportive for decision-making. The interactive, expandable format was preferred over a static version as general practitioners focused mainly on the core message. Rapid access through the electronic health record was highly desirable. The main issues were about the use of complex scales and terminology. Understanding terminology related to evidence appraisal as well as the interpretation of statistics and unfamiliar scales remained difficult, despite the infographics.ConclusionsGeneral practitioners perceive infographics as useful tools for guideline translation and implementation in primary care. They offer information in an enjoyable and user friendly format and are used mainly for rapid, tailored and just in time information retrieval. We recommend future infographic producers to provide information as concise as possible, carefully define the core message and explore ways to enhance the understandability of statistics and difficult concepts related to evidence appraisal.Trial registration numberMP011977.
