This package is the backbone of the ***FreesearchR***, a free and open-source browser based data exploration and analysis tool intended to democratise clinical research by assisting any researcher to easily evaluate and analyse data and export publication ready results.

The ***FreesearchR***-tool is online and accessible here: [link to the app freely hosted on shinyapps.io](https://agdamsbo.shinyapps.io/FreesearcheR/). All feedback is welcome and can be shared as a GitHub issue. Any suggestions on collaboration is much welcomed. Please reach out!

## Motivation

This app has the following simple goals:

1.   help the health clinician getting an overview of data in quality improvement projects and clinical research

1.   help learners get a good start analysing data and coding in *R*

1.   ease quick data overview and basic visualisations for any clinical researcher

## Install locally

The ***FreesearchR***-tool can also be launched locally. Any data.frame available in the global environment will be accessible from the interface.

```
require("devtools")
devtools::install_github("agdamsbo/FreesearchR")
library(FreesearchR)
# By loading mtcars to the environment, it will be available 
# in the interface like any other data.frame
data(mtcars) 
launch_FreesearchR()
```
