Age-dependent health data visualizations: a research agenda

While current data visualization research is profoundly driven by innovation and technical aspects, the project Tech4Age focusses on the evaluation of human factors in health-related data and information visualization. This workshop paper initially describes the background and motivation of ergonomic health-data visualization research. Subsequently we present planned studies as well as preliminary results from one general and one task-dependent study which we see as basis for generalizable results of ongoing ergonomic health-visualization evaluations. Finally, we present the research design of an evaluation study aiming at general recommendations for the age-differentiated design of health data visualizations.
