StatsDirect software
StatsDirect is an easy-to-use desktop application tuned to the statistical analysis needs of clinical and public health researchers and professionals.
You can download the software from the StatsDirect website. It runs on Windows devices capable of running .Net 6 or later, and on Macs via Vmware Fusion or Parallels.
Biostatistical learning resources
The help system in StatsDirect is also a learning resource. Embedding this learning in an easy-to-use data analysis tool addresses the need for health experts who are infrequent users of statistical methods to re-learn basic principles as they explore data, in turn preparing them to interact with statisticians.

What's next?
Developed since 1987 by Professor Iain Buchan, the next resource in the pipeline is a tool that extends StatisticalHelp to assist users to write R code in ‘statistical conversations’ with generative AIs. A new research theme in Conversational Data Analytics from Liverpool’s Civic Health Innovation Labs (CHIL).
These free resources are supported by funding from Leap of Faith Ventures.
