Serum Laboratory Studies, Stool Test, Breath Test

Gastrointestinal (GI) diagnostic studies are pivotal in confirming, ruling out, diagnosing, or staging various diseases, including cancers. Following diagnosis, allocating time for discussions with the patient and providing informational resources is crucial. Diagnostic assessments of the GI tract often occur in outpatient settings like endoscopy suites or GI labs. Preparation for these tests may include dietary restrictions, fasting, liquid bowel preparations, laxatives, enemas, and the...

Cancer Prevention

Cancer Prevention

Several factors can increase the risk of cancer in an individual. About 50% of cancer cases can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, eating healthy, and following a modest cancer prevention diet. Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that populations with vegetable and fruit-rich diets have reduced the incidence of cancer. On the other hand, populations who have a diet rich in animal fat, red meat, junk food, or high calories are predisposed to cancer.

Preventive Healthcare Services

Preventive Healthcare Services

Preventive healthcare services keep people healthy via frequent check-ups, screening, and counseling. They primarily aid in disease prevention rather than treating an acute or chronic illness. Preventive treatment also keeps individuals productive and energetic, allowing them to work well into their retirement years. Examples of preventive care services include:

Background:

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a significant health concern globally, ranking as the third leading cause of cancer mortality in Taiwan.
The adenoma-to-carcinoma sequence highlights the importance of early detection and removal of colorectal adenomas for CRC prevention.
Smartphones, with their advanced capabilities, present opportunities for developing innovative healthcare applications.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and evaluate an intelligent CRC screening application for Android smartphones.
To leverage data mining and decision tree algorithms for early identification of potential CRC patients.
To compare the app's performance against traditional methods like logistic regression and fecal occult blood tests.

Main Methods:

Development of an Android-based mobile application utilizing decision tree algorithms for CRC risk assessment.
Implementation of a data mining approach for analyzing patient data to predict CRC risk.
Comparative analysis with stepwise backward multivariate logistic regression and fecal occult blood testing.

Main Results:

The developed CRC screening app demonstrated an efficient and user-friendly approach for identifying high-risk individuals.
The app system provides valuable information for customer-oriented CRC services.
The mobile application offers a superior method for early CRC detection compared to traditional models.

Conclusions:

An Android application for CRC screening has been successfully developed and implemented, facilitating ubiquitous healthcare services.
The app aids in early screening, diagnosis, and treatment of CRC, aligning with preventive medicine goals.
This mobile health solution has the potential to reduce CRC complications and improve patient outcomes.
