Kaiyu is a PhD researcher at INFANT. His research aims to detect neonatal brain injury based on coupling between key physiological signals, and to develop AI tools to monitor the conditions of the neonatal brain. His work included the assessment of how the coupling between EEG and regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2, measured by Near Infrared Spectroscopy) relates to the severity of brain injury in full-term and preterm neonates, which respectively had different levels of hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) and intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH). His ongoing work is to investigate how the relationship among multimodal signals (rSO2, SpO2, blood pressure, cardiac output, heart rate) contributes to the severity of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) in preterm neonates.
This research could help clinicians to monitor the health conditions of the neonatal brain and make more informed treatment decisions before serious issues may arise.
