Open-Source R Shiny Dashboard (Global Burden of Disease Analysis Suite) for Multimethod Burden of Disease Research: Development and Evaluation Study

Existing tools cover portions of this workflow, but none integrate it end-to-end in a code-free interface, creating a substantial technical barrier, particularly for investigators in resource-limited settings. The application accepts Global Health Data Exchange (GHDx)–formatted CSV or Excel files, automatically detects standard variable names, and enforces internal consistency through built-in validation checks.

How it works

  • Disease (GBD) study provides the most comprehensive global burden estimates available, but translating GBD data downloads into structured analyses requires an integrated, multimethod workflow spanning trend...
  • The three ensemble forecast models (autoregressive integrated moving average [ARIMA], exponential smoothing state-space...
