System and Method for Optimizing Visualization for Comparative Treatment Analysis from a Cognitive and Personal Approach

摘要

A method, system, and computer program product are provided for displaying tradeoff options for a plurality of items (e.g., treatment recommendations) and options (e.g., treatment outcomes) by analyzing the options based on user-specified preference data and weighting factors to identify a list of options for a comparative list of items, and then employing a user interface to display a comparison of tradeoff options for the comparative list of items as a treatment matrix which includes visual tradeoff indication for each option shared in common with the comparative list of items to assist with the comparison of tradeoff options for the comparative list of items, where the user-specified preference data and/or weighting factors may be dynamically modified through interaction with a user interface to specify importance and impact weighting factors.
