Abstract INTRODUCTION Novel technologies to support real-time patient education, engagement and scalable outcomes monitoring to make clinically meaningful decisions are needed. The ManageMySurgery (MMS) Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) module is a mobile clinical decision support application that provides: (1) a mobile, patient-centered engagement tool for delivering pre-, peri- and postoperative SCS information; (2) scalable patient-reported outcomes collection; (3) a HIPAA-compliant 2-way messaging platform with a Clinical Specialist Educator for real-time support and goal setting. METHODS Prospective data was collected using the MMS mobile smartphone application in patients undergoing Medtronic SCS trial and permanent implant procedures. E-consent was obtained through the HIPAA compliant, mobile software platform. All data was de-identified, aggregated and analyzed. RESULTS A total of 20 patients (15-trial SCS and 5 permanent SCS patients) agreed to participate and logged onto the mobile software platform. For trial SCS patients, 100% of those that participated experienced >50% pain relief as documented in their patient-reported outcomes. Furthermore, patients found various features of the software platform helpful for navigating different aspects of their SCS procedure, with 81% finding MMS helpful in preparing for their SCS procedure, 88% finding MMS helpful in recovering from their SCS procedure and 94% in communicating with their Clinical Specialist Educator. In addition, 95% of patients would recommend MMS to a friend or family member. CONCLUSION The MMS platform appears to have utility both during the SCS Trial and Permanent procedures. In patients with chronic pain, novel patient engagement and follow-up tools such as MMS may be a good option for keeping patients engaged with the therapy and ensuring patients stay on track during their procedural journey. Randomized, controlled trials with extended follow-up are in progress and needed to further evaluate the utility of MMS in patients with chronic pain undergoing SCS.

WeChat as a type of mobile software with social communication attribute and platform function can offer a new platform and application mode for distance education. Real-time communication and good use experience of WeChat can make students have high use ratio and degree of tackiness. WeChat learning platform makes distance education more feasible, convenient and efficient. This paper takes Folk Literature as the experimental course and adopts interview and statistical data methods to contrastively analyze classroom effect differences before and after application of WeChat learning platform through design of WeChat learning platform of Folk Literature distance education, teaching design and case design and application effect analysis of WeChat learning platform application. This paper provides theoretical support and data support for Folk Literature distance education and its application in college education.

Requirement Prioritization

Mobile software application development process must be matured enough to handle the challenges (especially market related) associated with the development of high quality mobile software development. Ever increasing number of both mobile users and mobile applications had presented software engineers with the challenge of satisfying billions of users with high quality software applications to be delivered within deadline and budgets. Always there had been a lot of pressure to develop complex software categorized by thousands of requirements, under resource constrained environment. Requirement prioritization is one of the activities undertaken by software engineer to deliver partial software product to its customers such that most important requirements are implemented in the earliest releases. During next releases some changed and pending requirements are implemented, an activity that generates ripple effects. Such ripple effects need to be tested by executing modified source code against test cases of previous releases (regression testing). Regression testing is a very effortful activity that requires a software tester to select test cases that have high fault detection capability, execute the modified code against selected test cases and performing debugging. This regression testing activity can be lowered to the maximum extend by considering dependencies between requirements during the time of requirement prioritization. Thus requirement prioritization will be carried out not only against aspects like cost, time, risks, business values etc but against dependencies also. The aim is to implement almost all dependent highest priority requirements in current release so that implementation of new requirements is unlikely to have ripple effects. Changes in requirements might not be related to variable usage and definition and might not involve a change in functionality. In such cases there is no need to select already executed test cases of previous versions. Module dependencies can lead to test case selections of previous versions if changes of requirement lead to ripple effects. This paper aims to implement highest priority requirements such that regression testing is performed to minimum thereby improving development process of mobile applications. The proposed technique had been successfully evaluated on Android based notification software application that meets the specification of Aakash tablets.
