Title of the research project

The health data legal framework and associated medical liability mechanisms, within the artificial intelligence development framework : comparative European and North American prospects

Description

The research project is about the suitability of laws, legal principles and general framework surrounding health-related data, including those regulating the involved medical liability, in Canada and in the European Union.
It aims to identify its weaknesses and aspires to provide regulatory solutions that are more appropriate to the realities of artificial intelligence. These solutions should better balance private and public, individual, social, commercial and health-related interests at stake. Also, this project considers a different view of the law and of our current legal systems with missing satisfactory answers.

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.
