As members of the Spring 2021 cohort of DSC-WAV (Data Science Corps – Wrangle, Analyze, Visualize), we partnered with the Public Health Institute of Western Massachusetts to develop a web application for public health professionals in Western Massachusetts displaying levels of health indicators in the city of Springfield. We gathered data from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on health status of individuals in Springfield, and compiled the data into an interactive map using leaflet and R Shiny.
