Overview

This Body Mass Index Calculator application was built for the Coursera Course Developing Data Products as part of the Data Science Specialization.

The shiny application developed for this assignment is available at: https://templar32.shinyapps.io/BMICalc/

The source codes of ui.R and server.R available on GitHub repo at: https://github.com/templar32/Developing-Data-Products.git

BMI Model

The body mass index (BMI) is calculated based on the following formula:

Bodyweight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared

BMI = x KG / (y M * y M)

Where:

x=bodyweight in KG or LBs y=height in M or Inches

Shiny App: Interactive BMI Calculator
