The side by side viewer
 Built over as a replacement to the single view
mode.
 Drop down (Flex combo box) lets user select
type of view:
1) Single View
2) Horizontal side by side view
3) Vertical side by side view
 Each view lets you choose the images you
would like to view on either side by setting
focus on click and choosing from the thumbnail
display list.
The single view looks like this..
The horizontal side view
Another use case
The vertical side view
More to it..

 Each of the images can pe panned/zoomed

 They can be edited using the shared control
toolbar at the bottom.
 Select the side by clicking to obtain focus.
 You can read more about it here
The time series data visualization
module
 This module is intended to plot graphs for any
time series data that could be associated with a
patient.
 Recording devices vary and so do the formats.
However based on consultations with the team,
tried out with physionet compatible formats.
 More over here
Parsing the data

 One of the pysionet compatible formats includes

ECG signals from the MIT-BIH Arrythmia db.
 Files are available as
.dat – data files in binary
.hea - header files describing what other files are
there.
.atr – Annotations
 Using the wfdb library get the signals into csv
format
Plot
Comparing two series
How does the data flow?
 A file like the .dat has to be uploaded during an
encounter.
 The .dat will be stored as ComplexObs in
OpenMRS.
 Yet to decide – Store the .dat or build an
interface to parse common formats into a new
format (i.e CSV + an associated file) that can
be understood by the media viewer.
 Fetch the complexObs during a call to load the
encounter into the media viewer.
 Plot csv using the charting component.
Remaining workflow

 Create a button that pops up a search interface

which allows selection from thumbnails of all
previous medical images for the patient.
Selecting an image shows it side-by-side with
the current image. [1 week]
 Create a feature to add annotations to media.
Will be stored as new observations in current
viewed encounter. [1 week]
 Refactoring, feature optimization [2 weeks]
