Software projects
A compendium of the software applications and packages produced by the Kildea lab
The Kildea lab is a powerhouse of software development for healthcare applications. As well as all the students and researchers in the lab, we have a team of more than 20 software development professionals, including a project manager, a DevSecOps manager, application support specialists, software architects, a data scientist, a HL7 specialist, a QA automation specialist, and front-end and backend developers. Below you can find information on some of our most important software applications and packages.
radiSeq Simulator (Fomerly known as SDD-NGS_Simulator)
This is a tool to simulate Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) of radiation-exposed cells using a Standard DNA Damage (SDD) data file from Monte Carlo simulations of cell irradiations. radiSeq Simulator can perform both bulk- and single-cell whole genome DNA sequencing.
The Opal Patient Portal Platform
Opal is an award-winning comprehensive multi-institution patient portal platform that is used by almost 4,000 patients at the McGill University Health Centre. The technology behind Opal is the centrepiece data-sharing hub of the Quebec SmartCare Consortium project. Opal was named Quebec e-health solution of the year in 2019 and was awarded the 2019 Prix d’excellence–Coup de coeur des ministres (the highest accolade of Quebec’s Ministry of Health and Social Services).
diCOMBINE - image point-annotation software
diCOMBINE is a 3D DICOM visualization and point annotation app.
NLP and machine learning for radiotherapy incident reporting
This is a Python program that uses Natural Language Processing (NLP) in conjunction with supervised Machine Learning (ML) techniques to semi-automate the classification of radiotherapy incident reports.
paINDICATOR
paINDICATOR is a radiomics-based machine learning app for separating metastatic and healthy bones. paINDICATOR is using pyradiomics for radiomics feature extraction and sklearn for machine learning.
rtdsm
rtdsm is the first fully open-source software for radiotherapy dose-surface map generation and analysis.
TEXTOMICS
TEXTOMICS is a python-based generalizable NLP tool for extracting physician-reported pain scores from patients’ consultation notes.
texTRACTOR - NLP annotation for clinical notes
texTRACTOR is a pain labeling web application for clinical notes developed in Python FLASK.
Neutron-Spectrometry
Neutron-Spectrometry is a repository of command-line applications to unfold data collected using a Nested Neutron Spectrometer (NNS), to generate plots of the resulting spectra, and other associated tasks.
