INNV-02. BRAINMETS: A CLINICIAN-FRIENDLY SOFTWARE TO MANUALLY SEGMENT BRAIN METASTASES AND DETECT PRIMARY TUMOR ORIGIN USING DEEP LEARNING

Abstract Estimates suggest that around 20%-40% of cancer patients are affected by brain metastases. A subset of these patients first present with central nervous system manifestations with an unknown primary. The issue then arises regarding which region of the body should be imaged, if not the entire body, exposing the patient to more radiation. To address this issue, streamline workflows, and save precious time, we developed a software clinicians can use to identify primary tumor locus. “BrainMets” is a user-friendly software that handles a DICOM input, allows the user to segment the region(s) of interest manually, and uses a deep learning model to predict the most likely tumor origin. The model is a mixed-effects neural network pre-trained on radiomic features from open-source data by Ocaña-Tienda et al. (2023) using 637 high-resolution imaging studies from 10 different medical centers with an accuracy of 90.5%, precision of 92.7%, recall of 87.8%, and F1 score of 90.2%. The software leverages the open-source software 3D-Slicer to help segment regions of interest, extract radiomic features, and make predictions. It is built using Flask, a Python package for backend development. The frontend user interface is created using HTML/CSS and Bootstrap. The “BrainMets” software thus strives to enhance diagnostic workflow significantly, reduce appointment times for scans, and improve patient experience. Future enhancements include integrating more AI models, improving healthcare IT system compatibility, and updating datasets to boost predictive accuracy and generalizability. This tool sets a new standard in personalized medicine, optimizing treatment strategies for cancer patients with brain metastases. As adoption increases, it could substantially improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs associated with misdiagnosis and overtreatment. Further research and development will focus on expanding its applicability across various types of cancers.

A Culturally Sensitive Mobile App (DiaFriend) to Improve Self-Care in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes: Development Study.

Mobile apps designed with cultural sensitivity have demonstrated higher user acceptability and greater effectiveness in enhancing self-care skills. However, a significant gap exists in developing such apps for specific populations, such as Portuguese Americans living in southern Massachusetts, home to the second-largest Portuguese community in the United States. This group possesses unique cultural traditions, particularly in dietary practices, including a tendency toward high carbohydrate intake. Tailoring diabetes self-care apps to address these specific cultural requirements could substantially improve diabetes management within this population. The aim of this app development project was to develop a prototype diabetes management app for Portuguese Americans with type 2 diabetes mellitus using the design thinking methodology, incorporating user-centered design principles and cultural sensitivity. This paper describes the phase-2 results, focusing on app design and development. Phase 2 of this app development project adhered to the design thinking methodology delineated by the Hasso Plattner Institute of Design at Stanford University, focusing on 2 critical steps: ideation and prototyping. This phase started in March 2022 and continued until April 2024. The project was driven by a multidisciplinary team consisting of 2 nurse educators; an app development specialist; and 2 graduate research assistants from the university's Computer and Information Sciences Department, both well-versed in mobile app development. Data collected during phase 1, which will be published separately, informed the app design and development process. The prototype of the DiaFriend app (version 1) was designed and developed. The app comprises five features: (1) blood glucose monitoring, (2) weight tracking, (3) carbohydrate tracking, (4) exercise log, and (5) medication reminder. The carbohydrate tracking feature was explicitly tailored to correspond to Portuguese food culture. This paper presents the front-end interface flowchart, demonstrating how the user navigates through each screen. It also discusses the challenges faced during the backend development, such as data not being able to be stored and retrieved. The DiaFriend app (version 1) distinguishes itself from conventional diabetes self-care apps through its emphasis on cultural sensitivity. The development of this app underscores the importance of cultural considerations in health informatics. It establishes a foundation for future research in developing and evaluating culturally sensitive mobile health apps. The adaptation of such technologies has the potential to enhance self-care practices among Portuguese Americans with type 2 diabetes mellitus, with improved glycated hemoglobin levels as a potential outcome. The last step of the design thinking methodology, testing the app, will be conducted in phase 3 and the results will be published elsewhere.

Innovative Solutions for Democratic Processes: A Case Study on Secure JNEC Voting System

In the digital era, there is a need to convert the traditional voting approach. Thus, this paper introduces the JNEC Voting System (JVS), an offline desktop application designed to modernize the voting process. Traditional paper voting systems practiced in Jigme Namgyel Engineering College (JNEC) present challenges such as time-consuming procedures, the potential for invalid votes, and vulnerability to fraud. To address these issues, JVS employs a .NET framework, with C# for frontend and backend development, and MySQL as the database. The development process follows an iterative method, allowing for continuous improvement, flexibility, and adaptability. JVS enables voters to cast their votes by scanning ID cards, while administrators can create events, manage candidates, and manage voter registration. By eliminating the limitations of traditional approaches, JVS aims to enhance the efficiency and simplicity of voting. The primary goal was to replace paper voting systems in college and reduce the time for voting, counting, and result declaration. To tackle these challenges, JVS seeks to boost voter confidence and involvement. Further, it contributes to more transparent, secure, and accountable elections.
