Pathology Report Summarizer Assessment

We are building an automatic pathology report summarization system. We would like to include human judgement from professionals to help us understand and explain the results, and improve the system. In the evaluation, we will schedule a 30-min meeting do go through the details and for the professional to sign a consent form. The professional will expect to receive twenty documents including ten raw reports and ten summaries of these reports. They will be sent in a random order with no correspondence indicated. For each of the document, you will be asked to answer ten questions. We will evaluate the quality of the summaries based on the time she/he spent on reading the report, answering the questions, and the accuracy of the questions.

Breast Cancer and Health Promotion Study

Black women have worse breast cancer outcomes than White women. Physical activity can help cancer survivors live longer, feel better, and stay healthier. However, there aren't many health promotion programs to help Black women diagnosed with breast cancer become physically active, feel better, and stay healthy. The purpose of this study is to understand what kind of health promotion programs Black women diagnosed with breast cancer prefer and how different things affect their health and lifestyle. The insights gained from this study will help develop a customized health promotion program for Black women diagnosed with breast cancer.

Validation and administration of a new tablet-based voice-enabled application

The purpose of this study is to validate a new voice-enabled tablet to ensure it is an accurate and acceptable way to administer PROs questionnaires in Malawi. This voice-enabled tablet was developed specifically for patient populations who are unable to comfortably read and write, so that they can have equal access to participating in direct self-reporting their own PROs Questionaries without needing and interviewer to assist them. Once validated in the first 50 participants, then we will continue to enroll 500 participants who will take the PROMIS-25 and/or PRO-CTCAE Questionnaires at various time points throughout their treatment. This will allow you to directly self-complete the PRO surveys and give you a voice so that your struggles, quality of life, and symptoms can be more accurately and comprehensively communicated to the medical care team. We hope that through administering these PROs questionnaires, it will also improve the overall care, management of
