Note how cramped the original visualisation is.
This issue can be resolved through a combination of techniques.
However, it is good for an overview.
52. The page is meant to be dynamic
It somewhat uses a Gapminder-like approach
Can move ‘time bar’ below visualisation to aid
scrolling, panning
Makes navigation easier on single screen
DYNAMIC: GAPMINDER-LIKE APPROACH
53. This approach can be applied to all kinds of statistics in
relation to cancer.
This particular example highlights the decrease in cases
of lung cancer in males aged 65+
It may allow cancer researchers and medical
professionals to more easily identify such trends
Furthermore, these trends can be acted upon by the
relevant body
For example, this decrease in cases of lung cancer may
suggest:
Improved medicinal knowledge and technology to lower
incidences of lung cancer
Preventative advertisements (such as smoking) have raised
more awareness in reducing the risks and (in turn) reducing
possible cases
