In liver surgery, precise assessment of liver size and regeneration potential is critical. Clinicians traditionally performed TEL and KGR manually—often on office computers and spreadsheets—slowing decisions and introducing error. MD Anderson’s clinical team sought to streamline this process and improve outcomes. They sought a technology partner capable of delivering a reliable, precise medical application, leading to a collaboration with Blue People.
Blue People designed and developed a fast, accurate, web-based Liver Volume Calculator that clinicians can use at the bedside on any web-enabled device. Key aspects include:
Instant Calculations: Near-instant TEL and KGR, replacing minutes-long manual steps.
Bedside Accessibility: Works on phones, tablets, or laptops for immediate, data-driven decisions.
Intuitive Interface: Minimalist UI tuned for high-pressure clinical settings.
Validated Accuracy: Implements MD Anderson developed formulas, reducing human error.
Seamless Fit: Built with ReactJS and designed to slot into existing clinical workflows.
Rapid bedside calculation (TEL and KGR.
Web-based, multi-device access
Intuitive UI with minimal learning curve
Accuracy grounded in MD Anderson developed formulas
Streamlined data entry for comprehensive outputs
Time Savings: From minutes to seconds per calculation
Clinical Efficiency: Faster surgical planning and patient discussions
Reduced Error: Automated, consistent computations
Enhanced Patient Care: Quicker, better-informed decisions
Optimized Resources: Less back-and-forth to office spreadsheets; more focus on care
The Liver Volume Calculator is free to use and publicly accessible. Clinicians at MD Anderson use the tool as part of their workflow, and it is available for any practitioner seeking fast, reliable calculations.
It exemplifies the impact of collaboration between medical experts and software engineers. Delivered in under a month by a two-person team, it equips physicians with a reliable, bedside-ready tool for essential liver metrics, improving surgical efficiency, accuracy, and patient outcomes. This project highlights how technology can advance healthcare and save lives.
