Research Themes: Healthcare & Medical Applications

Research Programmes

Cardiac Rehab

A remote cardiac rehabilitation platform combining wearables and validated exercise protocols, reaching patients unlikely to attend centre-based programmes.

Co-Decide

An AI-enabled platform that prepares people with serious illness for shared decision-making, turning advance care planning from paperwork into conversation.

Dustec

An accurate, low-cost dust monitoring system built for small construction firms, making occupational exposure compliance affordable on site.

FedHealthSecure

FedHealthSecure

A federated learning framework that detects ransomware across healthcare networks without sharing patient data or relying on known signatures.

KG Ark

Creates privacy-preserving synthetic knowledge graphs that retain the relationships and semantic context of real data, unlocking restricted datasets for AI.

Mocara

A multilingual conversational platform explaining conditions and treatments using only regulator-approved content, adapted to each patient's literacy level.

Pro-Advance

Takes ProACT, a validated digital platform for managing multimorbidity, from research prototype to a commercial product for community-based care.

ProstheticAI

An AI platform recommending personalised prosthesis configurations from patient data, improving socket fit, comfort and rehabilitation outcomes.

ReFocus

The first hearing device to improve speech comprehension by shifting where sound appears to come from, developed for autistic listeners in noisy settings.

SelfHealth

A privacy-respecting wearable platform turning everyday activity data into early warnings, supporting independent living with chronic conditions.

VitalSignRadar

Millimetre-wave radar that monitors breathing and micro-movements through clothing and barriers, with no wearable or physical contact required.
