Leonard has recently completed a master's degree in Computer Science, and the summer project gives him the opportunity to apply the skills from his field of study in Cybernetics and Autonomous Systems in practice. In the first few weeks, he has been working on data collection and data processing. The project he is participating in is innovative and aims to develop a non-invasive medical technology system that, in the long term, can replace today's manual monitoring of vital signs.
About the research project
The summer project is part of a larger research project led by supervisor Ulysse C?té-Allard. The goal is to develop and validate an innovative system for continuous and automated patient monitoring. It aims to reduce the need for manual measurements of vital signs, which are currently performed by healthcare personnel, while simultaneously improving patient safety. The project is a collaboration between the University of Oslo, the Intervention Centre at Oslo University Hospital, and McGill University Health Centre in Canada.
The monitoring of vital signs will take place using a sensor unit that is attached to the arm, similar to a smart watch. The unit itself already exists, further work is required to develop a reliable AI model to accurately interpret and analyze its data. This is something Leonard will continue to work on in the coming weeks. Among other things, his method must effectively account for differences between
