Discover how advanced sensing devices and signal processing improve care at the very beginning of life

📍 Colloquium (Flux ????)
🍴 Free lunch included
Eir is organizing a lunch lecture featuring two PhD researchers from the Care & Cure domain, who will share how biomedical measurements can be applied for maternal and neonatal healthcare.
Our first presenter, Irene Lensen, will discuss her research on early detection of complications during pregnancy. By combining biomedical signals such as ECG, EHG, EEG, and ultrasound, she investigates the coupling between maternal and fetal cardiovascular systems.
Afterwards, Giulia Palladino will present her work on non-obtrusive monitoring of preterm infants. Using a fiber-optic pressure-sensitive mattress, she studies movement patterns and respiration, as well as the maturation trajectories of preterm infants through vital signs data.
Whether you’re interested in medical engineering, signal processing, or healthcare innovation, this lunch lecture offers a fascinating glimpse into how technology supports care for both mother and child!


On the 18th of November, we will have another Eir Member lunch! Come catch up with fellow Eir members and talk about your current courses.
Come catch up with fellow Eir members and talk about your current courses and maybe even about your interest in becoming Eir board?
