Abstract

The article discusses the use of the R language, especially the RShiny tool, to create interactive reports in the field of medical data analysis. The authors emphasize the need for an interdisciplinary approach to teaching statistics among medical students. An alternative to traditional static reports was presented, proposing the creation of interactive web applications that enable exploration, analysis and visualization of medical data changing in real time. The use of the R language as an open source tool allows for the development of medical students' competences in the field of data analysis and the adaptation of research tools to individual needs. A draft lesson plan using sample medical data on cervical cancer was also presented, along with a proposal for specific analyzes of these data and their visualization using interactive RShiny reports. The article ends with a discussion on the role of learning the R language in the education of students of Polish medical universities and the need to expand the educational offer for them with courses in data analysis in an open source environment.
