From: User perceptions of avatar-based patient monitoring: a mixed qualitative and quantitative study
Graphical examples: a A state-of-the-art conventional patient monitoring interface with vital signs presented as individual numbers and wave-forms, i.e., a single sensor, single indicator philosophy. b-d Various patient states visualized using Visual Patient technology with vital signs displayed as direct visualizations, i.e., the visualizations represent what the information means in the form of an animated patient avatar, e.g., cyanotic skin color = low oxygen saturation. Pulse and respiratory frequency are not visible in a still picture, as their assessment requires an animation
