Cover Story: Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a group of life-threatening inherited disorders with multiple aspects, such as public health and clinical aspects. Textual data structures (such as words, sentences, and data tables) in expert/evidence reports on SCD management present prospects for constructing qualitative and quantitative datasets. We have constructed datasets and associated interactive visualizations to conduct interactive analytics of textual data structures on public health and clinical aspects of sickle cell disease. Our report presents unique data products (https://bit.ly/scddata) that include landmark expert reports from the year 2020. Interactive analytics can support individual and team expertise for effective community-based research and practice on SCD. View this paper.
