apollon DB: Diabetes Health Database
"The pharmaceutical industry is critical to getting patients the right drug that will give them the best chance at overcoming their disease or sickness. However, the distribution of drugs is not centralized and is inefficient. Over the course of their treatment, a patient may spend time taking multiple different drugs before they find the one that effectively treats their situation. This is causing patients to waste large amounts of time and money taking drugs that are less effective in terms of both cost and price to treat their affliction."
"ApollonDB seeks to solve this issue by creating a database and visualization that depicts specific drug pathways showing how successful a drug or series of drugs were in treating a patient. The scope for this project is limited to diabetes only, and it will be deemed successful if the visualization created is capable of demonstrating that one drug is superior to another in terms of both cost and effectiveness."
