Eindhoven MedTech Innovation Center (e/MTIC) ’s Post

Esther Maas received her PhD degree on 9th April for her research that focuses on using 3D+t ultrasound images to develop a 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗲𝘂𝗿𝘆𝘀𝗺𝘀. Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are a serious medical concern as they can rupture with life-threatening consequences. Currently, the risk of rupture is mainly estimated by the size of the aneurysm. However, scientific research has shown that 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗯𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗱𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 such as the AAA volume, curvature, elasticity, and maximum wall stress can significantly improve personalized rupture risk estimation. 👉 We congratulate Esther on her outstanding achievement and are excited to see the impact of her work on patient-specific care ! This research was conducted in collaboration with Catharina Hospital Eindhoven, Eindhoven University of Technology, and Philips Benelux within e/MTIC.

👉 You're invited to attend the inaugural lecture of Prof. Dr. Misha Luyer tomorrow, April 5th, 2024 from 4:00-5:00 pm at the Blauwe zaal in the TU/e Auditorium. The lecture topic is "Technology to Improve Oncological Surgery and Perioperative Care." Luyer is currently working on a promising technique that can be used for detecting and characterizing pancreatic cancer, and that is artificial intelligence. The implementation of new techniques such as artificial intelligence requires the collaboration of various parties, including healthcare institutions, academic institutions, and industry. Therefore, such research is taking place within the #eMTIC community. If you cannot join in person, you can also participate online through this link: https://lnkd.in/eMZhWMQw.   Read more in the article Catharina Hospital Eindhoven (Dutch only) https://lnkd.in/gq6Gz8GT #emtic #collaboration #pancreaticcancer Eindhoven University of Technology - Nicole van Overveld, Catharina Hospital Eindhoven - Geert Piek

Individuals with this condition experience involuntary episodes of falling asleep at random times. People with narcolepsy may also experience other symptoms that require proper treatment and guidance. During her thesis presentation, clinical psychologist Laury Quaedackers demonstrated a special app called '𝗡𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗲𝗽𝘀𝘆 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿'. This app allows patients to track their symptoms over an extended period. 𝗟𝗮𝘂𝗿𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗱𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀 with narcolepsy for her PhD research. This research revealed that narcolepsy causes not only drowsiness, concentration and memory problems, but also social issues, fatigue, a depressed mood, and anxiety or panic complaints. These symptoms tend to change over time, leading to this app's development. Within the e/MTIC community, students and clinicians of Kempenhaeghe and Eindhoven University of Technology joined forces to realize this app in cooperation with SEIN - Expertisecentrum voor epilepsie en slaapgeneeskunde Read more @TU/e (NL/ENG): https://lnkd.in/eDRDJFnJ Video Narcolepsie Monitor: https://lnkd.in/gRJWCXn The '𝗡𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗲𝗽𝘀𝘆 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿' is available in the 𝗔𝗽𝗽 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘆: https://lnkd.in/dvnnt_qb #emtic #collaboration #medtech #narcolepsy #sleepdisorder Promotors: Sebastiaan Overeem, Panos Markopoulos | Anna Vilanova | Kempenhaeghe Marianne Verstappen, mirjam brennand-wilms, Karen Priem | Eindhoven University of Technology Nicole van Overveld ,

Monitoring contractions is essential to ensure the safety of the mother and unborn child during 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵-𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗸 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗯𝗶𝗿𝘁𝗵. However, traditional monitoring techniques can be invasive or affected by maternal movements. Kirsten Thijssen's PhD thesis focused on measuring the electrical activity of the uterus using non-invasive electrohysterography and exploring its technological development and clinical implementation.   In 2023, the 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 combining EHG with maternal and fetal electrocardiogram (ECG) was introduced. Currently, this system is being implemented across Europe for both intra- and extra-mural applications in obstetric care.
