Decoding Mental States using Contrastive Learning to Overcome Inter-individual Variability in Physiological Signals

OrbMedic, an Ottawa-based company, is developing the OrbMedic ADPT system, an advanced technological solution designed to detect and address early indicators of mental health challenges by analyzing physiological signals such as heart rate and skin conductance. Recognizing that individual physiological responses can vary widely, this research project seeks to refine the OrbMedic ADPT’s analytical capabilities to consistently interpret these signals across diverse individuals. By achieving this, OrbMedic anticipates enhancing the accuracy and applicability of their product.
