medAL-suite: A software solution for creating and deploying complex clinical decision support algorithms by Ludovico Gennaro Cobuccio, Vincent Faivre, Rainer Tan, Alan Vonlanthen, Fenella Beynon, Emmanuel Barchichat, Alain Fresco, Quentin Girard, Sinan Ucak, Sylvain Schaufelberger, Ibrahim Evans Mtebene, Peter Agrea, Emmanuel Kalisa, Gillian A. Levine, Martin Norris, Sabine Renggli, Alix Miauton, Lisa Cleveley, Kristina Keitel, Julien Thabard, Valérie D’Acremont, Alexandra V. Kulinkina

“…However, the process of translating paper-based guidelines into electronic algorithmic formats is often complex, inefficient, expensive, and error-prone due to reliance on advanced software development skills and clinical knowledge. Methods In response to these challenges, we developed open-source software called the Medical Algorithm Suite (medAL-suite), consisting of four components, with a primary goal of increasing efficiency, accuracy, and transparency of CDSS creation by giving experienced clinicians, rather than software developers, greater control over the process. …”
