© 2016 IEEE. In this paper, we introduce a novel dynamic visual analytic tool called the Cohort Relative Aligned Dashboard (CoRAD). We present the design components of CoRAD, along with alternatives that lead to the final instantiation. We also present an evaluation involving expert clinical researchers, comparing CoRAD against an existing analytics method. The results of the evaluation show CoRAD to be more usable and useful for the target user. The relative alignment of physiologic data to clinical events were found to be a highlight of the tool. Clinical experts also found the interactive selection and filter functions to be useful in reducing information overload. Moreover, CoRAD was also found to allow clinical researchers to generate alternative hypotheses and test them in vivo.
