Abstract: The exponential growth of big data demands an efficient knowledge discovery. The electronic medical records of patients on medical data Clouds contain implicit medical information. Although the periodic health examination (PHE) reports describing a set of screening tests for healthy individuals performed periodically, common individuals require the assistance of an expert to interpret the results for a medical opinion. This research study proposes a metaphoric design of Electronic Medical Record (EMR) for PHE reports of patients. The outcomes of this study glimpses useful findings for the common people in the self-interpretation of their medical reports. Besides, among a variety of solutions, the study uses the metaphoric representation to convert the numerical data and medical terminology to familiar graphic representations from real life. The study identifies the detailed requirements to propose a conceptual architecture for metaphoric EMR reports. The future work will result in a prototype design, evaluation, and refinement of metaphors based on stakeholders' feedback.
