A second example of how data visualization is used is by GE who takes common health conditions that affect Americans today and creates associations between conditions. The user can view the data in two different diagrams, by male or female, search, and by color. If you hover over a circle, a bubble with additional information pops up. The data is pulled from a proprietary database of 7.2 million records. Because there is such a large amount of data it is helpful to see the data in a simple form. It may have a dramatic effect on how we relate health conditions and the way we treat them because of the associations that are presented in this diagram.

Data visualization can be a helpful design tool to see connections with others or for educational purposes. The process of visualizing data in different ways can inspire and educate people all over the world. It offers world-wide communication because of its use of visuals instead of words, and it avoids the barrier of language.
