Title of the research project

Automated extraction pipelines in medical imaging

Description

The objective of this project is to extract a set of relevant data from the files produced by medical imaging devices.

The process consists of building ETL (extract-transform-load) pipelines to make the data consumable for analysis and visualization. An example of analysis consists in observing the trend in dose administered to patients according to the establishment, protocol or device used, in order to possibly identify non-standard practices.

The data extracted could also guide practice by making it possible to assess the relevance of certain studies, and thus to optimize resources in the health network.

Detection of delirium using physiological parameters and hypovigilance monitoring: a pilot observational cohort study

Student member : Raphaëlle Giguère

Delirium is a condition that, when left unmanaged, is associated with increased mortality and longer hospitalization of patients in intensive care; therefore, its detection should be an integral part of care. It is characterized by confusion, anxiety and reduced alertness. It is estimated that 75% of delirium cases are not detected on admission to hospital. Detecting such an acute condition requires frequent monitoring of participants, which is labor intensive and requires expertise.
