Title of the research project
Use of patient-reported outcomes and accumulated dose for accurate quantification of the dose-outcome relationship in hypofractionated prostate cancer radiotherapy
Description

This project is focused on determining if patient-reported outcomes are better correlated with actual dose delivered than with planned dose in prostate cancer patients receiving radiotherapy.

The project will use daily cone-beam CT images to calculate the daily and total radiation dose delivered to patients, and the Opal app to collect their patient-reported outcomes.

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.
