About Me

Neuroscience Innovator & Researcher

I am a dedicated neuroscience researcher with a passion for addressing healthcare disparities through innovative, interdisciplinary approaches. My work bridges the gap between clinical neuroscience, epidemiology, and computational technology to improve neuro-oncology outcomes in Ghana and similar contexts.

Having completed my secondary education at Opoku Ware School (OWASS) in 2022, I have since focused on developing research initiatives that address critical gaps in brain tumor care and diagnosis in low-resource settings. My research examines the biological foundations of brain tumors, epidemiological patterns in Ghana, and the transformative potential of emerging technologies like artificial intelligence to revolutionize diagnostic accuracy and treatment outcomes.

Research & Publications

Interdisciplinary Methodology

This pioneering study integrates biological foundations, clinical care pathways, epidemiological estimation, and emerging technological solutions to provide a comprehensive analysis of brain tumors in Ghana.

Epidemiological Insights

Using conservative incidence assumptions, the research estimates 416-640 new brain tumor cases annually in Ghana, highlighting significant underdiagnosis due to limited diagnostic infrastructure and delayed presentation.

Technological Innovation

The paper examines the transformative potential of artificial intelligence in improving diagnostic accuracy, reducing interpretation time, and supporting clinicians where specialist expertise is scarce in resource-limited settings.

Brain Tumors in Ghana: An Interdisciplinary Analysis of Biology, Epidemiology, Clinical Care, and Emerging Technologies

Author: Raymond Armah

Affiliation: NeuroCompute Research Institute

Collaboration: Ghana Brain Tumor Research Collaborative

This student-led research paper presents an interdisciplinary analysis of brain tumors in Ghana, integrating biological foundations, tumor classification, risk factors, clinical presentation, diagnostic pathways, treatment modalities, epidemiological estimation, and emerging technological solutions. Using conservative incidence assumptions and available hospital-based data, this study estimates the national burden of brain tumors and highlights systemic gaps in care.

Abstract

Brain tumors represent one of the most complex and debilitating categories of neurological disease due to their biological heterogeneity, critical anatomical location, and high associated morbidity and mortality. While significant advances have been made in neuro-oncology globally, outcomes in low- and middle-income countries remain disproportionately poor.

In Ghana, the true burden of brain tumors is difficult to quantify due to limited diagnostic infrastructure, delayed presentation, and the absence of a comprehensive national brain tumor registry. This paper further examines the role of artificial intelligence and media-driven public awareness as tools for improving early detection and outcomes. This work aims to contribute to ongoing neuro-oncology research in Ghana while demonstrating the potential of student-driven scientific inquiry.

Bridging Neuroscience & Computational Innovation

NeuroCompute Research Institute is a pioneering initiative founded to address the critical gap between neuroscience research and computational methodologies in low-resource healthcare settings. Our mission is to leverage cutting-edge technology to overcome systemic challenges in neuro-oncology and neurological care in Ghana and similar contexts.

The institute focuses on applying artificial intelligence, machine learning algorithms, and data analytics to improve understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of neurological conditions, with particular emphasis on brain tumors. We develop and implement AI-assisted diagnostic tools that can reduce interpretation time, improve diagnostic accuracy, and support clinicians where specialist expertise is scarce.

Through collaborative projects, student training programs, and interdisciplinary research partnerships with organizations like the Ghana Brain Tumor Research Collaborative, we are building neuro-oncology research capacity and contributing to tangible improvements in patient outcomes.
