title: Implementation of a Web Portal for Diabetes Patients Using Open Source Data Visualization Libraries.
abstract: To provide a better doctor-patient communication and to better involve patients into a diagnostic and treatment process we implemented a web portal for diabetes patients using open source libraries to present medical data. The medical data was "archetyped" according to the ISO 13606 standard. Visualization properties were defined using visual medical concepts (VMC) in XML format. JQuery libraries were used to build static and dynamic diagrams. To implement user requirements' based interfaces we conducted interviews with doctors and patient focus groups. To test the usability of the portal we conducted usability testing interviews from January to February 2015.
