Global Health Visualized

Introduction

In the video 'The enormous disparity in global health visualized', the creator Hans Rosling has used the power of the graphics and info graphics to analyze and visualize the trends in the health and wellbeing of the people around the world. The video is a reflection of the intersections of statistics and medicines on a single platform. The enormous amount of figures and numbers are gathered through the use of arts and graphics of computer software that have turned the massive data into simple facts and figures that are easy to understand and demonstrate. It is helpful for everyone but especially to those who have a little or no background knowledge of the statistics or typical medical terminologies related to the health of the people around the world. It defines what is actually happening in the world through identifying the factors that lead towards the severe health conditions of the people around the world and the disparities and differences among the different nations regarding the health care conditions of the people. It also describes the events that have caused the differences and disparities in the health are conditions around the world that have lead to the significant consequences in the health care industry internationally (Brodbeck et al., 2009).

This paper discusses the views of author regarding the use of massive amount of data and its conversion into info graphics and visual graphics. It critically analyzes the use of massive amounts to data that could be applied in different industries or institutes in order to make the data work for the researcher or any other concerned person or population. The concepts given in the enormous disparity in global health visualized are constantly used as a base for the analysis of the global health visualization.
