Computational Time Series Analysis for Cardiovascular Health and Cardiopulmonary Fitness Profiling KU Leuven
To date, there is an unmet need for accurate computational models that can identify and manage individuals at high risk of developing adverse Cardiovascular (CV) events. The purpose of this doctoral project, is the utilization of machine and deep learning algorithms to create a computational pipeline to construct a profile of patients related to their CV health and fitness and predict their response to potential exercise treatment programmes. ...
Inspiratory muscle training in difficult to wean patients KU Leuven
Mechanical ventilation (MV) is a life-saving treatment for critically ill patients on the intensive care unit but may have serious complications that are directly linked to the duration of MV. Weaning failure of MV can be the result of an imbalance between ventilator demands imposed upon the respiratory muscles and the capacity of the respiratory system to generate sufficient driving pressure to maintain tidal breathing. This capacity can be ...

Influence of glycemic variability on autonomic and cardiovascular function, and its modulation by postprandial exercise training in patients with diabetes type 1 Ghent University
Type 1 diabetes is characterized by chronic hyperglycemia and by acute glycemic fluctuations. The role of this glycemic variability (GV) in the development of diabetic complications is subject of debate. In this study we want to evaluate the impact of GV on autonomic function and vascular complications, as well as to investigate the effects of postprandial exercise on these parameters.

Instrumented dystonia and choreoathetosis assessment protocol (IDCA) of upper limb movements in cerebral palsy KU Leuven
The general aim of this doctoral project was to increase our insights into the qualitative and quantitative assessment methods for childhood-onset dystonia and choreoathetosis. Dystonia and choreoathetosis are movement disorders that interfere with activities of daily living and have a tremendous impact on quality of life. Dystonia and choreoathetosis can occur in children after a brain lesion near birth, as a consequence of a genetic defect, ...
