PREDICTING HEART FAILURE
We’ re leading a nationwide pilot study at Ministry of Health cardiac centres to test a mobile app we’ ve developed to predict early worsening outcomes in heart failure patients. This app will help to enhance the quality of patient care with proactive medical therapy.
IDENTIFYING BRAIN DISORDERS
We’ re developing deep learning algorithms to identify neuroimaging biomarkers for brain disorders and prediction of individual differences in behaviours and personality traits.
TACKLING FRAUD
Online document verification has reduced digital fraud but increased physical document tampering. We’ re using image processing and machine learning to detect tampering in physical documents by combining techniques in image processing and machine learning.
MAXIMISING ENERGY EFFICIENCY
We’ re working on energy-sustainable paradigms for 5G and Beyond 5G networks to maximise the efficiency of harvested energy while minimising grid power consumption.
DETECTING CRIMINAL ACTIVITY
To identify potential suspicious behaviours that may lead to criminal intent, we’ re designing an active surveillance system to analyse video feed content in real time.
