Re-imagining the INCLUDE Projects' DS-Connect Data

TLDR; The Medium Article explains the entire development process.

I used the NIH’s publicly available DS-Connect dataset, which includes some demographic information and the various diagnoses of over 3,300 individuals with DS (DCC, 2022; NIH, 2022b).

The INCLUDE datasets were made for medical researchers. However, I imagined the DS-Connect Participant Database as a resource for families with loved ones with DS. I wanted to visualize information about the DS population in an easy-to-understand way.
