Redesign of Pedigree Displays through User-centered Visualization

Year: 2002

Type: article

Abstract: A complete family history is critical to the assessment of genetic risk of hereditary diseases. Kinsys© is a family history-tracking program used by genetic counselors and healthcare professionals for risk assessment. A pedigree, which is a graphic drawing of family history, is the most important component in such a program. In this project, we analyzed the current pedigree displays of Kinsys© and identified their problems and limitations; and we developed innovative pedigree displays by principles of user-centered visualization methodology for a new version of Kinsys© that overcome some limitations of the original displays.
