RiskScape
A powerful and easy-to-use web-based data visualization tool that allows users to map diseases or health conditions, explore affected populations, and assess for changes in health conditions over time.
RiskScape is ESP's interactive, web-based data visualization platform. It provides timely, high-level summaries of specific conditions of interest to public health officials.It utilizes data from the same clinical partners as MDPHnet but is built on a centralized, individual-level, deidentified dataset that is updated monthly.
Users can generate graphs based on condition of interest while filtering or stratifying by other factors such as age, sex, race/ethnicity, health indicators, and comorbidities.
