As genAI tools reshape how many data visualizations are created, health data requires more than just a human in the loop. Often, we see ourselves or people we care about represented in those data sets, sometimes from exceptionally challenging periods of illness or frustration navigating health care systems.

The human elements of health data require that we handle data with care, taking into consideration:

  • Who is represented in the data?
  • Who is the messenger sharing the data?
  • How data may be (mis)understood and influence health behaviors?
