Abstract:
Drawing on his extensive experience in biomedical innovation and translation, this presentation will explore the developmenof several emerging medical technologies, including a system for imaging pupil size and gaze through closed eyelids and an
autonomous ICU ventilator that uses physiological data and digital twin technology to optimise patient care. It will also
share insights from the translational research journey, highlighting key milestones, challenges and lessons learned
in bringing innovative healthcare solutions closer to clinical practice.
