Biomedical Engineering and Technology Research Day

The day will include a poster symposium, keynotes speaker, provided lunch and prizes for our top contestants. The Biomedical Engineering and Technology Research Day is an excellent opportunity for students, faculty, and industry professionals to engage in insightful discussions, share knowledge, and explore cutting-edge developments in biomedical engineering.

The Interventional Neuropsychiatry Program at the University of Toronto has three pillars with a focus on novel and emerging treatments in the realms of: A) Pharmacology (e.g., IV ketamine, nitrous oxide, psychedelics); B) Brain stimulation (e.g., rTMS, TI, FES); C) Digital Interventions/Therapeutics. The research program aims to understand mechanisms behind treatment response with an emphasis on digital data capture accompanied by application of AI/analytics. This talk will provide an overview of research paradigms in this emerging domain with a particular emphasis on activities within the Digital Pillar which houses the Digital Interventions & Intelligence Group (DiiG)
