RRNLs Project Showcase
Reference Range Number Lines
About This Project
For patients with chronic diseases, reference range number lines (RRNLs) can be useful tools in monitoring their health. Existing studies on RRNLs explore how design influences the patient’s understanding of health status, risk, and resulting behaviors. Despite their usefulness in healthcare contexts, there are few visualization tools for creating RRNLs. This project introduces a domain-specific language (DSL) that streamlines the creation of reference range number lines while supporting both reproducibility and customization.
