Description

"The study is part of a broader effort from IBM in the area of Risk Communication, and took place under the supervision of a team of researchers from the IBM Dublin and Watson research centres. Building on top of the most recent visualisation research, it proposes and evaluates a series of visualisation techniques applied to medicine side effects communication. The novelty and the formal correctness of the study are guaranteed by an extensive literature survey conducted by the authors. Special care has also been devoted to survey preparation, to ensure understandability and non-ambiguity of the questions, and to remove any possible bias. This work has been presented to a broader audience within IBM as part of the internship, receiving very positive feedback. The future plans are for IBM to extend and adapt the study to target specific conferences in the Healthcare and Risk Communication domains."
