About This MicroSim

This MicroSim visualizes time-series vital signs — the kind of data a graph database returns for chronic-disease monitoring — as line graphs over six months. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure are plotted against the left axis and heart rate against the right, with the blood-pressure background shaded into normal, elevated, and hypertensive zones so a treatment response is visible at a glance. Five patient profiles illustrate different clinical trajectories.

How to Use

Choose a patient from the dropdown to switch trajectories — Patient A's hypertension visibly improves into the normal zone, while Patient C stays in the hypertensive band and Patient D shows bradycardia and hypotension. Toggle the systolic, diastolic, and heart-rate checkboxes to focus on specific vitals, and hover over the chart to read the exact values at each biweekly measurement.
