Description

I'm seeing a fair number of public shinyapps.io apps which are basically modelled risk estimators for patients. For example you might input a bunch of factors to determine someone's progression-free cancer survival. Some options in this area might be:

  • Probability of giving birth by a certain date based on due-date
  • Alcohol and cancer
  • Simulation of household colds based on time of year and how many kids you have

Research direction

The issue is a broad proposal for medical risk-estimation apps and does not name files, tests, or an entry point. First clarify the intended app, data, safety requirements, and project scope; the work is done only when those requirements and an agreed implementation plan exist.
