Abstract :
This paper discusses the ongoing application of Strategic Digital Dashboard (SGD) technologies to a growing number of important medical applications. The growing number of medical data warehouses and repositories in military and civilian healthcare applications have proved challenging for useful application due to the sheer size and complexity of the knowledge-base (HighTechMaui 2002, Stratton and Dick 2002). Advances in graphical software development tools like Lab View and others has allowed development of soft-configurable display systems that simplify human interpretation in several ways. SGD development in the JMAR project will be another step in the evolution of complex medical information systems that can improve military and civilian medical supply logistics.
