This data visualization project was created as part of the MA Information Design program at the University of Reading. The project focuses on using data visualization as a way to prevent the spread of hospital-acquired illnesses.
My research found that lack of hand hygiene in medical settings is a significant issue. Improper hand hygiene can lead to infections, causing a significant health threat and financial burden. The deliverables for this project focus on improving hand hygiene through education about harmful pathogens. Two audiences were considered: a general audience (typical visitors in healthcare settings) and a specialized audience (health care workers). A closer look at the brief, research, and process can be seen in the Data Project Report.
