We are delighted to announce that Walton Institute's Dr LIZY ABRAHAM has been named one of the successful awardees to secure funding under the SFI-IRC Pathway programme 👏 Dr Lizy’s project will explore An Artificial Intelligence (AI) – based Automated Approach for the Classification of Paediatric Heart Murmurs and Disease Diagnosis using Wireless Phonocardiography. “This research proposes an automated AI-based cardiac disorder detection system using the phonocardiogram heart sound signals,” explains Dr Lizy. “This will support physicians and primary health care providers in the early diagnosis of congenital heart diseases, instead of children undergoing expensive and lengthy diagnostic procedures directly.” 💜 https://lnkd.in/eTvktVrV #LoveIrishResearch #AI #CongenitalHeartDisease #paediatrics Science Foundation Ireland Irish Research Council
