“Less words, more pictures”: creating and sharing data visualizations from a remote health monitoring system with clinicians to improve cancer pain management by Virginia LeBaron, Natalie Crimp, Nutta Homdee, Kelly Reed, Victoria Petermann, William Ashe, Leslie Blackhall, Bryan Lewis

“…BackgroundThe Behavioral and Environmental Sensing and Intervention for Cancer (BESI-C) is a remote health monitoring system (RHMS) developed by our interdisciplinary team that collects holistic physiological, behavioral, psychosocial, and contextual data related to pain from dyads of patients with cancer and their family caregivers via environmental and wearable (smartwatch) sensors.MethodsR, Python, and Canva software were used to create a series of static and interactive data visualizations (e.g., visual representations of data in the form of graphs, figures, or pictures) from de-identified BESI-C data to share with palliative care clinicians during virtual and in-person 1-hour feedback sessions. …”
