A Healthcare Research Showcase on 29 January 2021 will highlight some of the healthcare projects we're undertaking – including using body sound recordings to train computer models to recognise Covid-19, and employing AI techniques in the quest to improve cancer treatment.  

The event, comprising a series of lightning talks by early-career researchers in this Department, will also feature a study into ways of safely delivering Mindfulness training by using a robot coach.

Head of Department, Professor Ann Copestake will introduce the event, and we will then hear talks on:

• Predicting outcomes for psychotic disorders, using brain connectivity and transcribed speech data: Dr Sarah Morgan;
• Designing a Robot Mindfulness Coach - a longitudinal study: Dr Indu Bodala;
• Automatic Covid-19 Diagnosis from Breathing, Cough Sounds, and Voice: Dr Jing Han;
• Integrative and interpretable AI methods and tools for bench-to-bedside research in cancer medicine: Dr Zohreh Shams, Dr Helena Andres-Terre, Dr Nikola Simidjievski.

The Healthcare Research Showcase takes place online at 14:00 on Friday 29 January 2021. It is open to anyone interested in attending. If you would like to take part, please register here.
