My mental health dashboard was my entry into the Matilda Viz! competition, where university students in Australia are tasked with creating a visualisation that tells a story about mental health or substance abuse.

My interactive dashboard on the tragedy of suicide was a shortlisted entry, where I won the judges choice prize. Judging was based off the following criteria:

  • Story told and insights offered about mental health and/or substance use.
  • Creativity and aesthetic appeal.
  • Effective communication.

The dashboard was created using Shiny for R, and featured many interactive components which allow uses to explore the data for themselves. The dashboard can be explored here:
