BME student named Engineering's 2025 Co-op Student of the Year
Aiden Sarrafzadeh, a second-year Biomedical Engineering student, worked at Women's College Hospital on the Health System Solutions and Virtual Care (WIHV) team.
For the second year in a row, a BME student was selected as the Faculty of Engineering’s Co-op Student of the Year! Aiden (right) is pictured with the 2024 recipient, Jarrett Dewbury.
With a focus on health systems and digital health, he mainly worked with artificial intelligence (AI) clinical decision support tools in a collaboration project with OntarioMD. These tools can help with anything from a doctor's AI scribe, to assistance with medical imaging and even basic admin tasks.
Aiden evaluated many of these tools by comparing their performances against each other and establishing baseline metrics to determine which solutions were most suitable for future clinical use. His project work was accepted to the 2026 e-Health Conference.
Beyond this, he conducted research and performed development work on an AI tool to assist researchers in implementing their interventions.
