Introduction: Manual gating of flow cytometry (FCM) data for marrow cell analysis is a standard approach in current practice, although it is time- and labor-consuming. Recent advances in cytometry technology have led to significant efforts in developing partially or fully automated analysis methods. Although multiple supervised and unsupervised FCM data analysis algorithms have been developed, they have not been widely adopted by the clinical and research laboratories. In this study, we evaluated flowDensity, an open source freely available algorithm, as an automated analysis tool for classification of lymphocyte subsets in the bone marrow biopsy specimens.
Materials And Methods: FlowDensity-based gating was applied to 102 normal bone marrow samples and compared with the manual analysis. Independent expression of each cell marker was assessed for comprehensive expression analysis and visualization.
Results: Our findings showed a correlation between the manual and flowDensity-based gating in the lymphocyte subsets. However, flowDensity-based gating in the populations with a small number of cells in each cluster showed a low degree of correlation. Comprehensive expression analysis successfully identified and visualized the lymphocyte subsets.
Discussion: Our study found that although flowDensity might be a promising method for FCM data analysis, more optimization is required before implementing this algorithm into day-to-day workflow.

Background: Measures of diagnostic test accuracy provide evidence of how well a test correctly identifies or rules-out disease. Commonly used diagnostic accuracy measures (DAMs) include sensitivity and specificity, predictive values, likelihood ratios, area under the receiver operator characteristic curve (AUROC), area under precision-recall curves (AUPRC), diagnostic effectiveness (accuracy), disease prevalence, and diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) etc. Most available analysis tools perform accuracy testing for a single diagnostic test using summarized data.

Background: Melanoma is a highly aggressive skin cancer, where early and accurate diagnosis is crucial to improve patient outcomes. Dermoscopy, a non-invasive imaging technique, aids in melanoma detection but can be limited by subjective interpretation. Recently, machine learning and deep learning techniques have shown promise in enhancing diagnostic precision by automating the analysis of dermoscopy images.

Background: Health care is shifting toward 5 proactive approaches: personalized, participatory, preventive, predictive, and precision-focused services (P5 medicine). This patient-centered care leverages technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI)-powered robots, which can personalize and enhance services for users with disabilities. These advancements are crucial given the World Health Organization's projection of a global shortage of up to 10 million health care workers by 2030.
