Detection and Assessment of Malignancy by Symptom Evaluation (DAMSEL)

A consortium including Obex Technologies, Mountain Hare Consulting, the Walton Centre NHS Foundation Trust, University of Cambridge, brainstrust, The Brain Tumour Charity and NIHR Brain Injury Health Technology Co-operative have developed a new cloud based platform for following patients with brain cancer through the neuro-oncology pathway. The system provides a database for the recording of presenting symptoms and then tracking treatments and outcomes across what can be a complex pathway.

The project received a funding award of £393,202 from Innovate UK, the UK’s innovation agency in 2015 to develop this new module based on the successful ORION platform.
