On Friday, October 27, at 1:30 p.m. Central Time, application developer Savannah Obregon will speak about the {redcapAPI} R package in a free presentation on Microsoft Teams. She is a member of the Vanderbilt Biostatistics team that developed a data processing layer within the package to help support clinical trials. REDCap is a secure web platform simplifying database and survey creation, while R facilitates reproducible research through its scripting capabilities, R Markdown integration for reports and package management. Originally designed for exporting the raw API data from REDCap, redcapAPI now includes robust data handling, ensuring reliable retrieval of analysis-ready data. It optimizes the transformation of raw REDCap data with cryptographic storage of API keys and streamlined API calls, making it a powerful tool.
Obregon graduated from Lipscomb University with a bachelor's degree in information technology management, with a minor in business and concentration on web development. She was a speaker at R/Medicine 2023, and she presented a poster on {redcapAPI} during the department's 20th anniversary celebration. She has made crucial contributions to the data coordination of ACTIV-6 since joining our department.
