The project began with data analysis and breast cancer research using SEER data and regression modeling to identify disparities in incidence among Asian American women. From these findings, I drafted a research proposal outlining a digital platform to help young women understand their risk factors, with clear objectives, methodology, and expected outcomes. Securing grant funding allowed the concept to move into prototype development.

Development began by adapting validated health survey instruments into a format coded in HTML. At this stage, the calculator required tailoring background research into age-appropriate, culturally sensitive questions and risk-scoring algorithms. After user testing, the app underwent iterative revisions, and it was finally deployed.
