Understanding Cardiac Risk Data Visualization

Summary

This study examines how people understand different types of cardiac risk and its uncertainty visualizations. We want to learn which visuals are easiest to read, which feel most understandable, and which people prefer. You will look at a few charts that show cardiac risk and its uncertainty. Then you will answer questions about how clear and understandable each visual feels to you. By learning what works best for the general public, this study will help improve how cardiac risk information is shown in the future.
