Overview

Timelines allows users to visualize clinical information linearly (or log) to help establish patient treatment timelines. Patient timelines can be aligned and ordered by different patient events. Timelines can operate over specific events, various patient cohorts and different plotting mechanisms. Buttons and dropdowns in the control bar show or hide different areas of the application.

Timelines
  • Events: Events represent a clinical event in the pateint history. All events in the Timelines widow can be toggled on/off in the events control bar.
  • Patients Events: Are color coded on the graph. Each row is an individual patient. Each dot or line represents an event in that patient’s history. Patient events can be toggled on/off and ordered or aligned by a particular event. To view different ordering or alignments view the Order by or Align by dropdowns.
  • Event Window: Information correlating to a particular patient event is displayed in the Event Window box. To view hover over a dot or line in the graph, information on that particular even will appear in the window.
  • Timeline: Patient event timespan linearly from months to years.
  • Control Bar: Collection of controls that operate over the patient and chromosome areas.
  • Survival Curves: Survival curves correlate to each saved cohort above.
  • Cohorts and Collections: Snapshots of the various collections, either patient or gene (gene coming soon). Different filters include visualizing age at diagnosis, gender, race, ethnicity, vital status or tumor status. Also, includes the ability to save and push cohorts through the various tools.
