HealthPlot: Understanding American public health through R
summary
An R/Shiny application called HealthPlot that visualizes and analyzes over 200,000 open public-health records (CDC, FDA, NCBI, WHO, etc.) to explore US health trends, past and future threats, cost-per-patient efficiency versus life expectancy, and geographic disparities by state/county (e.g., UV exposure vs. skin cancer, mining regions vs. lung cancer). The project demonstrates using R packages (dplyr, tidyr, ggplot2, plotly, leaflet) to handle large datasets without extra tools, promotes access to public data, is open-source, and targets a general audience; it won best young scientist presentation at Jornadas de R 2017.
