Abstract

Comprehensive analysis and interpretation of real-time data are critical aspects in the environment of healthcare emergencies in the high pressure domains. The use of real-time visualization technologies in the emergency healthcare infrastructure increases the pace of monitoring, data analysis and application and, thus the response time and precision of the decisions. The present paper provides a comprehensive review of frameworks, technologies, and methods that support real-time visualization of emergency healthcare. We discuss the support of a trustworthy visualization platform through the data provided by wearable devices, Electronic Health Records, and Internet of Things (IoT) medical sensors. We also examine various visualization procedures, including dashboards, heatmaps, and temporal graphs, which allow effective interpretation of complex health data in near real-time. The paper provides a review of past research, reviews current trends, and suggests the development of superior design for constructing real-time visual systems. Evaluation of our methodology through practical case studies and working prototypes validates our approach's considerable opportunity to reduce medical mistakes, improve teamwork in emergencies, and improve patient outcomes. The last part of the study is devoted to what is left to be researched, the technical and social obstacles to large-scale implementation, and the vision for future development in large-scale implementation.
