- Cancer Center Catchment Analysis: A Geographic Information System (GIS) Shiny App with Advanced Backend and User-Friendly Web Interface
- Abstract
- HemOnc.org is a website that provides medical information and resources related to Hematology-Oncology, which is the branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of blood disorders and cancers. The website is designed to be a valuable resource for healthcare professionals, including physicians, oncologists, hematologists, nurses, medical students, and patients seeking information about various hematological and oncological conditions. The primary objective is to allow providers to refer to the primary literature quickly, review notes from themselves and their peers, and share useful resources. HemOnc.org offers a wide range of content, including clinical guidelines, research articles, case studies, drug information, and educational materials. It aims to keep healthcare professionals updated with the latest advancements, treatment options, and best practices in the field.
Determining the catchment areas of cancer centers is crucial for healthcare planning and accessibility. To address this need, we present a Geographic Information System (GIS) Shiny App that leverages backend technology and offers an intuitive web-based user interface. The catchment areas are calculated using ArcGIS, and the catchment area populations were determined using the 2020 decennial census data and the tidy-census R package. The app enables users to efficiently assess travel times that are variable by region and time of day to nearby cancer centers, facilitating better resource allocation and patient care. Our backend algorithms incorporate sophisticated routing and distance calculations, ensuring accurate and real-time results. The user-friendly web interface allows for seamless data input, dynamic visualization of catchment areas, and interactive exploration of results. This novel GIS Shiny App aims to empower healthcare professionals and policymakers in making informed decisions to enhance cancer care accessibility nationwide.
