Seeing Emergency Care Through Different Eyes by San José State University

This data visualization project explores emergency department visits, focusing on the reasons patients seek care at the ER compared to their actual medical diagnoses. By comparing patient reported symptoms with medical diagnoses, this project highlights the differences in how patients and medical team interpret health issues.

This interactive experience provides ER personnel a new way to dynamically explore the distribution of symptoms across age groups and reported symptoms. Ultimately, the project aims to foster a deeper understanding between medical teams and the public by highlighting the different perspectives on health crises.
