ACE-RT, A Cloud-Based Tool for Remote Radiotherapy Contouring Support in Lower-Resourced Settings: A Pilot Evaluation

This evaluation of a cloud-based educational portfolio tool to improve training in radiotherapy contouring found it to be feasible, acceptable, and appropriate for use in a resource-limited setting. Unstable internet connectivity was the main barrier identified. Further work is recommended to improve the software's performance with variable internet speeds and evaluate the implementation in a range of centres.

Abstract

This evaluation of a cloud-based educational portfolio tool to improve training in radiotherapy contouring found it to be feasible, acceptable, and appropriate for use in a resource-limited setting. Unstable internet connectivity was the main barrier identified. Further work is recommended to improve the software's performance with variable internet speeds and evaluate the implementation in a range of centres.
