Phase II SBIR – BioSINE
BioSINE Status – Early stages of development – conceptual
– Working closely with our subcontractor & volunteers
§ BioSINE Objectives – Developing a free web tool to support visualization/collaboration/security
§ Users create their own secure workspace and manage roles/privileges
– Set out targeting resource-challenged entities with public health responsibilities (e.g., local units, developing nations)
§ Lack of IT resources/expertise
§ Non-programmers, stat-program experts
– Create intuitive, efficient platform to analyze and share information
– Create a hub, that could link/incentivize community members

Conclusion from User Analysis: Context is Critical
§ Context determines the kind of data they want and the appropriate level of aggregation/drill-down
– Stakeholder’s role in public health (e.g., public health official, epi, nurse,etc.) – Geographic coverage (e.g., local, state, federal, international) – Ability to decompose, filter, and aggregate data
§ Data should be appropriate for the task – Traceable, accurate, timely, complete, and valid – Flexible, presentable in multiple ways
“. . . especially for less experienced analysts, approaches to help them make sense of data for decision making would be useful.”

An Approach to Support Multiple Stakeholders

Primary: Analysts Provide visualization and collaboration tools to share analyses
Secondary: Consumers Able to manipulate variables, views, and analyses to target their needs

3 Visualization Guidelines
§ Provide action at the point of interest – Co-locate display and control – Reduce extended mappings, breadcrumbs
§ Show information at the right level – Showing everything all the time = overload – Learn what a user needs, and deliver
§ Empower users, leverage their expertise – Enable “what-if” and tradeoff analysis – More engaging experience
