The wider determinants of health at Imperial's GP practices

This is a template which you can use to help get you started on the wiki submission. It is just intended as a guide and you may modify the structure to suit your project.

Aims & Learning Outcomes

• Explain the motivation for your visualisation.

• Introduce the subject of your visualisation.
• This visualisation is meant for use by students during e-learning and blended pre-reading for the Patients, Communities and Health Y1 (1a) Module.
• After using this visualisation, students should be able to:
  • Identify the wider determinants of health in specific GP practice areas
  • Relate specific determinants of health to their impact on health outcomes
  • Recognize that different areas in London (and their associated GP practices) have populations that differ in terms of health outcomes

After using this visualisation, students should be able to explain how societal inequity relates to health outcomes as applied to the local area of GP practices.

Design Overview

• What the final outcome was, how it looks, how it functions etc.
• Include graphics.
• Do not include justification or design progression, leave this for later sections.

Design Justification

Assessment Criteria

• Education Design
  • Target audience and their prior knowledge is clearly identified. This information is applied to decide what the learning outcomes should be.
  • Key concepts identified and broken down into several discrete and easily achievable points.
• Graphical Design
  • The design is such that the visualisation is clear and easily understood; the layout isn't cluttered.
  • The choice of font, as well as size and placement of text, makes the information easy to comprehend
  • The colour palette is appropriate and well justified, making it easy to see all text/design elements
• Interaction Design
  • The learner should know intuitively what the objectives are of the visualisation.
  • The user should be able to intuitively understand the function of each interactive element in the visualisation
  • There should be immediate visual feedback when a learner interacts with the visualisation
• General
  • The wiki page should give a clear overview of the project, and someone not familiar with the project should be able to understand it - no prior understanding necessary.
  • The design choices should be well justified in the Wiki project page
  • Fulfillment of staff partner's brief

Education Design

• What Methods were considered to convey concepts?
• Design progression, key choices with justifications.
• How has feedback been incorporated.

Graphical Design

• How were accessibility issues considered?
• How was space used effectively?
• Design progression, key choices with justifications.
• How has feedback been incorporated.

• How is the design intuitive?

Interaction Design

• Choice of interactive element(s) that fit in organically with the visualisation [inspiration of choice might be from lecture/in-class activity or other sources] - Sliders/Buttons/Cursor (hover/click).
• Keeping accessibility of interactive elements in mind during design phase.
• Design progression, key choices with justifications.
• How has feedback been incorporated.

Progress and Future Work

• Is the design finalised?
• Which pages have been uploaded to website?
• Any ideas for future improvements.
