The pilot study explores how data visualization influences patient comprehension and engagement in understanding hyperlipidemia test results across diverse patient groups. Employing Gestalt theory and the Relational Information Display (RID) framework, intuitive visual tools were developed using Google Sheets, QlikView®, and Microsoft® Excel®. The survey conducted with patients used a Likert scale to evaluate six different line and bar graphs, each presenting the same LDL cholesterol data. The study emphasized the creation of graphs that were easily interpretable. The survey aimed to assess preferences for various data visualization formats. The survey results indicated that patients preferred stacked area charts, while healthcare providers favored line charts. The results highlight the importance of user-centric design and the effective application of theoretical frameworks in creating visualizations that enhance patient engagement and comprehension. The study highlights the role of tailored data visualizations in healthcare, emphasizing the need for such tools in user-centered health technology.
