R Not Only In Production
summary
InsightRX uses R end-to-end: a plumber REST API calculates individualized vancomycin doses from EHR data, an R package batch-processes de‑identified hospital metrics, and an AKI detector (unit conversion, out‑of‑order handling, test suite) runs in CI so alerts surface in the web app to clinicians. Developers also ship a localization helper and prototype with Shiny; builds are wrapped as Docker images for CI and deployment, and the features are running in production.
