Using Shiny apps for statistical analyses and laboratory workflows

Abstract In many areas of healthcare, digitization has progressed only slowly so far. The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in particular shown how valuable software solutions that are deployable at short notice, can be. this review we present some selected possibilities the easy-to-learn programming language R and demonstrate potential applications package Shiny fields statistical analysis laboratory medicine. addition to a brief tabular overview published applications, two examples their use routine workflows. first example demonstrates app be used estimate minimal difference (MD) analytes, while second illustrates pre- post-analytical processing steps integrated into fully automated workflow using package.
