clinChat: Conversational Interfaces for Clinical Data with Large Language Models

Provides tools and Shiny applications for interacting with clinical datasets through natural language using large language models. Built on 'ellmer' and 'shinychat', it emphasizes privacy-aware workflows where data remains local and only necessary summaries or tool results are shared with the model. Includes ready-to-use chat interfaces for exploratory analysis, summarization, and querying of clinical data.
