Towards an Interactive Visualization for Dietary Supplement Knowledge Graph

Xing He, Jiang Bian

Abstract: Dietary supplements (DS) are widely used. However, consumers know little about the safety and efficacy of DS. There is a growing interest in accessing health information online; however, online health information, especially information on DSs, is scattered with varying levels of quality. We prototyped a web application, ALOHA, with interactive graph-based visualizations to facilitate users' browsing of the integrated DIetary Supplement Knowledge base (iDISK) curated from scientific resources, following an iterative user-centered design (UCD) process.
