NSERC Alliance with Dapasoft Inc.

Dr. Ling Guan, Dr. Naimul Khan, and Dr. Karthi Umapathy were awarded an NSERC Alliance Grant ($669K) to develop interpretable machine learning algorithms for computer-aided diagnosis of Neonatal lung and heart diseases. Mount Sinai's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit is the largest in Canada, and point-of-care-ultrasound (POCUS) is the most common imaging modality for heart and lung disease diagnosis. Howeve, highly specialized skillset is required for operating POCUS on neonates. We will also develop AI-guided training tools for new ultrasound technologists in this project.
