Digital Health and Biomedical Engineering

Researcher using some biomedical engineering equipment

Our group brings together engineers and computer scientists to discover new approaches to prevent, diagnose and manage health and medical conditions. Our research is end-to-end across digital health from sensors and meditech through to data science, AI and decision systems.

About

Our interdisciplinary research addresses a wide range of topics from fundamental research through to translational patient-centred research and innovation. Examples include:

sensors and biosensors
control system design and rehabilitation technologies
lab-on-a-chip and microfluidics
biomedical signal processing and machine learning
wearable technology for healthcare
digital behavioural interventions
autonomous disease management
AI and health
data trusts for healthcare
consent and privacy management

Facilities

Researchers can make use of our dedicated multi-function biocontainment lab, the Centre for Hybrid Biodevices.
