A critical step in the fight against COVID-19 is effective screening of infected patients for infection detection and risk assessment. While viral testing such as rt-PCR is the gold standard for infection detection as it is highly specific, it is moderately sensitive and is a very time-consuming, laborious, and complicated manual process that is in […]

In healthcare, communication and clear roles and responsibilities are critical in delivering care to patients. This is difficult to achieve in the best of times; during pandemics and mass casualty events, communication is the first thing to fail, leading to inefficiency, confusion, and ultimately harm to patients. This project aims to develop an automated system […]

Automation of medical diagnosis/detection process is very important in terms of enhancing diagnostic accuracy, increasing throughput, reducing cost, and training new staff. In this project we are interested to investigate and develop a system for enhancement of automatic recognition and classification of human blood images. Smart tools for medical applications have high importance and increasing […]

We are building a machine learning system to help clinical experts accurately label medical notes with diagnosis codes. This will make it faster and cheaper to train machine learning models to identify important codes, including those related to infectious diseases and COVID, in large amounts of medical notes.

As the COVID-19 pandemic complete eradication will at least take 2-3 years, putting the country under complete lockdown is an impractical solution. Hence, Computing and Data Analytics research group at Saint Mary’s University (SMU-CDA) proposes a collaboration with Agyle Intelligence to develop a complete framework using Data Analytics and Machine Learning that can help citizen, […]

As location is an integral part of both population and individual health, there is an emerging role for geospatial artificial intelligence (GeoAI) technology in health and healthcare. Novel infectious diseases such as COVID-19 are associated with population density, environmental factors, and interactions between humans and wildlife. GeoAI technology can be used to collect and analyze […]

We are building a machine learning algorithm to be able to better understand the messy clinical notes that doctors write on patients and to automatically structure them. This will help hospitals and healthcare systems standardize and extract insights from these notes to make them more useful for determining how sick COVID patients are and how […]

COVID19 has accelerated shifts in the global energy market such that energy companies and banks may be impacted in the medium to long term. At the same time, the decarbonization of the world’s highest carbon sectors present opportunities for alternative energy carriers. For investors and policy makers it is important to understand the scope and […]

Your Doctors Online is an online smartphone-based application that allows registered patients to chat with experienced and board-certified doctors 24 hours and 7 days a week. Patients can chat, upload images or videos, and get immediate medical advice about a variety of health issues such as cold and flu, sexual health and dermatology avoiding the […]

We propose utilizing real-time image detection of humans (visitors and healthcare workers) using personal protective equipment (I.e. masks, gloves, and gowns) in healthcare settings. This system would ensure proper compliance of PPE use to reduce the transmission COVID and other healthcare based infections, thereby saving lives, reducing hospital stays and costs. This builds off literature […]

The COVID-19 virus causing the current pandemic leads to severe illness and death when it involves the lungs. This occurs in a way that conventional X-Rays often cannot show. Experience in other countries and with a similar condition known as ARDS suggests that lung ultrasound can accurately detect COVID-19 lung involvement. Lung ultrasound is harmless […]

Galenit est une plateforme de formulation qui facilite le développement de produits de santé. Dans le cadre de ce projet, Galenit souhaite développer sa plateforme afin d’y intégrer l’aide à la formulation de produits désinfectants. Ce nouveau module permettra de développer plus rapidement de nouveaux produits désinfectants à usage topique pour répondre à la pénurie […]
