This research develops a physics-based method for measuring lung elasticity from medical imaging to predict which emphysema patients will benefit from lung valve treatment. By creating detailed elasticity maps, the work aims to improve treatment selection, enhance patient outcomes, and provide new quantitative tools for assessing lung health.

This research develops an AI model that combines thyroid ultrasound imaging with genetic testing to improve diagnosis of indeterminate thyroid nodules. By integrating molecular and imaging data, the model helps distinguish benign from cancerous nodules more accurately, reducing unnecessary surgeries and improving clinical decision-making for thyroid cancer patients.

This research develops soft, tissue-like implantable sensors capable of monitoring molecular signals inside the body in real time. By combining high-performance electronics with flexible, biocompatible materials, these devices could detect inflammation, stress, or organ damage before symptoms arise, enabling earlier diagnosis and more personalized healthcare.

This 3MT® presentation describes how artificial intelligence can help non-specialist clinicians diagnose deep vein thrombosis using AI-guided handheld ultrasound devices. By enabling faster point-of-care diagnosis in GP surgeries, the project aims to reduce hospital referrals, improve accessibility for vulnerable patients, and help healthcare systems manage increasing clinical demand more efficiently.

This research uses artificial intelligence to predict the progression of Alzheimer’s disease and cancer using medical imaging data. By analyzing brain scans, tumor scans, and treatment responses, AI models can forecast disease development and treatment outcomes, enabling earlier intervention, more personalized care, and improved quality of life for aging populations.

This research improves photoacoustic imaging, a technique that uses light-generated sound waves to visualize tissue oxygenation deep inside the body. By calibrating measurements using highly oxygenated arterial blood, the method overcomes longstanding accuracy limitations and avoids skin-tone bias, potentially improving early tumor detection and non-invasive monitoring of tissue health.

This research redefines digital health literacy for an AI-driven world, emphasizing the alignment between users and technology. Using a Delphi method, it identifies three core components—knowledge, skills, and context. The resulting framework guides the design of digital health tools that better support behavior change by adapting to users’ real-world needs.

This research addresses the short lifespan of dental fillings by drawing inspiration from natural tooth structure. Using physics-based simulations, it designs materials with improved bonding and durability. The work has broader applications in aerospace, implants, and protective materials, demonstrating how bio-inspired engineering can enhance performance across multiple high-stress environments.

This research models blood flow in narrowed arteries and during catheterization using the Herschel–Bulkley fluid model. By simulating flow and drug dispersion, it identifies factors affecting unpredictability. These insights enable optimized treatments, improved medical device design, and better visualization for clinicians, ultimately enhancing safety and outcomes in cardiovascular care.

This research addresses excessive false alarms in hospital medical devices, which burden staff and distress patients. By detecting and filtering noisy data, the proposed system prevents false alerts while preserving true ones. Early results show complete removal of false alarms, improving efficiency, patient experience, and clinical response in healthcare settings.
