Explanation

"Trace view" in the context of medicine refers to a way of displaying data collected from medical devices, such as heart monitors or brain wave scanners. It shows the information in a line graph format, which can move in real time, similar to how a seismograph records earthquakes. This allows doctors to see patterns and changes over time, helping them to understand a patient's condition better. It's called a "trace" because the line graph traces or follows the changes in the patient's body signals.
