<p>The <ahref="https://app.freesearchr.org"class="external-link"><strong><em>FreesearchR</em></strong></a> is a simple, clinical health data exploration and analysis tool to democratise clinical research by assisting any researcher to easily evaluate and analyse data and export publication ready results.</p>
<p><ahref="https://app.freesearchr.org"class="external-link"><strong><em>FreesearchR</em></strong></a> is free and open-source, and is <ahref="https://app.freesearchr.org"class="external-link">accessible in your web browser through this link</a>. The app can also run locally, please <ahref="#run-locally-on-your-own-machine-sec-run-locally">see below</a>.</p>
<p>The <strong><em>FreesearchR</em></strong> app can also run on your own machine with no data transmitted anywhere. Any data.frame available in the global environment will be accessible from the interface. Just follow the below steps:</p>
<olstyle="list-style-type: decimal">
<li><p><strong>Requirement:</strong> You need to have <ahref="https://www.r-project.org/"class="external-link"><em>R</em> installed</a> and possibly an editor like <ahref="https://posit.co/download/rstudio-desktop/"class="external-link">RStudio</a>.</p></li>
<li>
<p>Then open the <em>R</em> console and copy/paste the following code, that will install the <ahref="https://devtools.r-lib.org/"class="external-link">devtools</a> package and then the <ahref="https://github.com/agdamsbo/FreesearchR"class="external-link">FreesearchR</a><em>R</em>-package with its dependencies:</p>

<p>Like any other project, this project was never possible without the great work of others. These are some of the sources and packages I have used:</p>
<li><p>The <strong><em>FreesearchR</em></strong> app is build with <ahref="https://shiny.posit.co/"class="external-link">Shiny</a> and based on <ahref="https://www.r-project.org/"class="external-link"><em>R</em></a>.</p></li>
<li><p><ahref="https://www.danieldsjoberg.com/gtsummary/"class="external-link">gtsummary</a>: superb and flexible way to create publication-ready analytical and summary tables.</p></li>
<li><p><ahref="https://github.com/dreamRs"class="external-link">dreamRs</a>: maintainers of a broad selection of great extensions and tools for <ahref="https://shiny.posit.co/"class="external-link">Shiny</a>.</p></li>
<li><p><ahref="https://easystats.github.io/easystats/"class="external-link">easystats</a>: the <ahref="https://easystats.github.io/performance/articles/check_model.html"class="external-link"><code>performance::check_model()</code></a> function was central in sparking the idea to create a data analysis tool.</p></li>
<li><p><ahref="https://biogen-inc.github.io/IDEAFilter/"class="external-link">IDEAfilter</a>: a visually appealing data filter function based on the <ahref="https://github.com/dgkf/shinyDataFilter"class="external-link">{shinyDataFilter}</a>.</p></li>
<p>The online <strong><em>FreesearchR</em></strong> app contains a tracking script, transmitting minimal data on usage. No uploaded data is transmitted anywhere. Have a look at the <ahref="https://analytics.gdamsbo.dk/share/2i4BNpMcDMB9lJvF/agdamsbo.shinyapps.io"class="external-link">tracking data here</a>. No tracking data is sent running the app locally (see above).</p>
