The increasing interest in time series data mining has had surprisingly little impact on real world medical applications. Practitioners who work with time series on a daily basis rarely take advantage of the wealth of tools that the data mining community has made available. In this work, we attempt to address this problem by introducing a parameter-light tool that allows users to efficiently navigate through large collections of time series. Our approach extracts features from a time series of arbitrary length and uses information about the relative frequency of these features to color a bitmap in a principled way. By visualizing the similarities and differences within a collection of bitmaps, a user can quickly discover clusters, anomalies, and other regularities within the data collection. We demonstrate the utility of our approach with a set of comprehensive experiments on real datasets from a variety of medical domains.
