Abstract
Objective
To create an online resource that informs the public of COVID-19 outbreaks in their area.
Materials and Methods
This R Shiny application aggregates data from multiple resources that track COVID-19 and visualizes them through an interactive, online dashboard.
Results
The web resource, called the COVID-19 Watcher, can be accessed at https://covid19watcher.research.cchmc.org/. It displays COVID-19 data from every county and 188 metropolitan areas in the U.S. Features include rankings of the worst affected areas and auto-generating plots that depict temporal changes in testing capacity, cases, and deaths.
