Hello, I just started a Visualizations in Healthcare class, and I’m trying to find “datasets” relating to my topic of choice. The topic is Alzheimer’s, but this post is more about the topic of datasets in general. I figured it would be easy to find some huge 10 million row dataset that is the official dataset for Alzheimer’s or something… but it seems that’s not quite how it goes.
Meanwhile I’ve put together this great outline for the project, and I did a ton of reading on the latest in treatment and research on the topic. I have all the ideas that I want to cover, and a lot of really good journals that together have enough data tables to visualize whatever I need to visualize, but no like, Classic ~The Dataset.csv~ 10 million rows, and has literally all the data.
I did find one “dataset” on a dataset website on hospitalizations for Alzheimer’s by region, by demographic, and is a downloadable .csv file, but it’s not very big, like 1250 rows, and has little to no relevance to me.<\/p>\n
To me, I don’t see the difference between visualizing some small table in a journal vs visualizing a huge dataset, especially if I’m just picking out a few fields that matter to me or something, but I don’t think that’s the point of the project is it? I’m not really familiar with the world of getting datasets. I always just figured, someone gives you a dataset, and you analyze it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
