Interactive pharmacometric applications using R and the Shiny package

Abstract

Interactive applications, developed using Shiny for the R programming language, have the potential to revolutionize the sharing and communication of pharmacometric model simulations. Shiny allows customization of the application's user-interface to provide an elegant environment for displaying user-input controls and simulation output-where the latter simultaneously updates with changing input. The flexible nature of the R language makes simulations of population variability possible thus promoting the combination of Shiny with R in model visualization.
