Project Big Life (PBL)

A site fuelled by Canadian researchers, clinicians, data scientists and developers who wanted a way to show how their research and public health policy could affect people, their families and their community. PBL realized the algorithms that they created to predict disease risk in the community are just as accurate, if not more so, than the algorithms that they used in their clinics with patients. They quickly created an online calculator to demonstrate how healthy living affects a person's life expectancy, using the same approach that they used to assess how healthy living affects entire communities. Have a peek at their calculators on their website.
