:: Biomedical Informatics

Much of our work here involves encoding of medical knowledge and its integration with advanced signal / information processing methods to provide robust decision support tools to assist busy clinicians with patient care. The underlying theme of our work is "smart medical systems design" and this is underpinned by signal processing and computational intelligence techniques.

Research topics

• Neurophysiology - EEG signal analysis for diagnosis and assessment of brain dysfunctions, Early Detection and Assessment of Dementia
• Knowledge-based EEG signal processing; artefacts processing
• Anaesthesia / Intensive care - Biosignals based closed-loop controlled drug infusion  
• Dermatology - Techniques for Classifying Pigmented Skin Lesions, Artificial Intelligence-based image processing for skin cancer diagnosis  
• Obstetrics and Paediatrics - Electronic fetal monitoring, analysis of ECG and heart rate patterns; knowledge-based analysis of umbilical cord gas, assessment of outcome measures.
• Objective Evaluation of performance of intelligent medical systems  
• Knowledge modeling and complex data analysis - to understand the attributes of underlying biological systems and causes of changes in data, and to predict the behaviour of such systems
