Novel ML for Pulmonary Embolism Detection

Pulmonary Embolism (PE) diagnosis using machine learning (ML) techniques on CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) is transforming the field of medical imaging. PE is a life-threatening condition where blood clots block the pulmonary arteries, requiring timely and accurate detection to improve patient outcomes. Traditional training and development of ML models for PE diagnosis involve extensive annotation, which is resource-intensive. To make these applications practical, the team has developed optimized training strategies, model architectures, and deployment pipelines for efficient PE detection.

Rapid, remote vital sign monitoring and screening

Based on thermal and optical sensing analysis of digital imaging, this technology allows for rapid measurement of photoplethysmogram (PPG), temperature, respiratory rate, and heart rate beyond conventional distance limitations (e.g. at distances more than 1m), with the ability to add other components (e.g. tissue oxygenation and blood pressure) in the future.
