Étude portant sur la validation d’une technologie visant à soutenir la réalisation de routines par des enfants qui présentent une TDAH ou un TSA

La réalisation des routines quotidiennes représente un défi pour de nombreux enfants présentant des troubles neurodéveloppementaux (TDAH, TSA). Plusieurs outils d’intervention traditionnels proposés pour soutenir les parents dans la réalisation des routines familiales impliquent un investissement de temps important pour les parents et ces stratégies ne sont pas efficaces pour tous les enfants. Les technologies […]

Full characterization of Drug-Drug interactions using deep learning methods

Better understanding Drug-Drug interactions (DDIs) is crucial for planning therapies and drugs co-administration. While, considerable efforts are spent in labor-intensive in vivo experiments and time-consuming clinical trials, understanding the pharmacological implications and adverse side-effects for some drug combinations is challenging. The majority of interactions remains undetected until therapies are prescribed to patients. We propose to […]
