OTHER FUNCTIONS - PHASE I SBIR TO DEVELOP SCREENFLOW - AN ELECTRONIC OPEN SOURCE

这是SBIR开发ScreenFlow的第一阶段合同，ScreenFlow是一个包含峰值流量数据的电子开源问卷筛选工具。在接下来的6个月里，弗雷明翰心脏研究的数据将被分析，以开发一个有和没有呼气峰值流速数据的模型，以预测患者是否患有中度至重度COPD。基于该模型，我们将在一台开源的Android平板电脑上开发并实现一个简单易用的调查问卷。这将在波士顿医疗中心的200名临床患者(100名COPD高风险患者和100名低风险患者)上进行测试，以验证该系统。ScreenFlow工具的敏感性、特异性、成本和可用性将被确定。ScreenFlow一旦评估，将进行进一步的工程设计，以便可以在带有集成峰值流量监测器的售货亭中使用。最终目标是开发基于平板电脑的带有峰值流量计的售货亭，用于在公共场所筛查COPD。

This is a Phase I SBIR contract to develop ScreenFlow - an electronic open source questionnaire screeningtool that incorporates peak flow data. Over the 6 months, data from the Framingham Heart Study will beanalyzed to develop a model with and without peak expiratory flow rate data to predict whether a patient hasmoderate to severe COPD. Based on the model a simple to conduct questionnaire will be developed andimplemented on an open source Android tablet PC. This will be tested on a clinical population of 200patients (100 high risk for COPD and 100 low risk) at Boston Medical Center to validate the system. Thesensitivity, specificity, cost and usability of the ScreenFlow tool will be determined. ScreenFlow oncevalidated, will be further engineered so it can be used in a kiosk with an integrated peak flow monitor. Theultimate goal is to develop Tablet PC based kiosks with peak flow meters to screen for COPD in publiclocations.
