Development of computer-based tools for early diagnosis of Acromegaly: Guiding app design through end-user feedback

Acromegaly is a disease caused by a tumour in the brain that leads to coarsening and enlargement of features of the face, hands, and feet. However, because of the long duration of time it takes to make a diagnosis, many patients are found in the advanced stage of disease and need many treatments such as surgery, radiation, and/or medical therapy. Therefore, our team at IPRO is developing a machine learning model that will identify the earliest changes caused by the disease, and recommend patients that are identified as high-risk to seek a confirmatory medical diagnosis. To support the translation of this model into a simple, accessible, and easy-to-use platform, the IPRO team is developing a web and/or smartphone application that can be used by patients, clinicians, and other stakeholders to screen for Acromegaly.
