Research interests
My research involves the development of software diagnostic tools. Our latest techniques involve using dental radiographs which are searched by computer programmes. Our tests show that the software is as accurate as a human expert.
Our osteoporosis detection system by dentists achieved international media interest in newspapers (eg Times), television (Northwest Tonight) and magazine articles (eg New Scientist) following publication of our recent article in the journal Bone (Devlin et al. Automated osteoporosis risk assessment by dentists: a new pathway to diagnosis. Bone 2007; 40:835-842). Our osteoporosis research team (Devlin, Horner, Graham and Allen) won the 6th Northwest Biomedical Award for bionow® “Healthcare project of the year”, 2007. The award was given by TrusTECH, an umbrella organization for the North West Biomedical Industry and the North West Development Agency.
