The presented article deals with an interdisciplinary research of health status data analysis and so called health cartography mapping approaches. In the first part the existing cognitive studies and recommendations on map design are discussed. Following part describes current trends in cartographic visualization and non traditional methods for exploratory cartography. Examples and possibilities of modern cartographic tools for dynamic presentation, publication, and analysis of health data are mentioned. Terms dynamic presentation and publication describe the possibility to select required scale, to allow interactive creative communication of users and map authors, and also presence of active statistical tools. Project of medical web portal for presentation of health data with special focus on cancer prevalence is described in the last section. The portal should be used for educational and informational purposes and exploratory tools will be part of it. Attention is given to suggestion which tools would be appropriate to these demands.
