New research by the Acoustics Group has been published in the Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine (JVIM). Heart murmurs are useful diagnostic indicators of heart disease in dogs, particularly small breeds that are predisposed to myxomatous mitral valve disease...
Kate presented on “Unravelling the mechanics of cuff- based blood pressure measurement”: Cuff-based devices have been in use for over 100 years and are ubiquitous in hospitals, doctors’ surgeries and homes. However, cuff measurement is inaccurate, underestimating the...
Our entry into the 2022 George B. Moody PhysioNet challenge on automated heart sound detection won first prize. The George B. Moody PhysioNet Challenge (formerly the Computing in Cardiology/Physionet Challenge) is an annual, international competition...
Up to one-third of adult horses have valvular heart disease, which produces characteristic murmur sounds that can be detected with a stethoscope. Machine-learning algorithms combined with electronic stethoscopes have shown promise in automating the detection of...
Our research on machine learning techniques for automating the detection of valvular heart disease (VHD) was featured on BBC Look East last night. Our clinical research study, “Cardiovascular Acoustics and an Intelligent Stethoscope” is currently running...
We attended the Heart Valve Voice screening event in Westminster to talk to MPs and stakeholders about our research on improving the early detection of valvular heart disease. Picture: Acoustics Lab Research Associate Andrew McDonald (right) and cardiologist Dr Daniel...
Our Cardiovascular Acoustics and an Intelligent Stethoscope (CAIS) study was featured on ITV East Anglia. The segment, shown on the evening news, detailed the patient recruitment being undertaken at Royal Papworth Hospital, co-sponsor of the study and one of five...
Anurag and Andrew attended a “Your Heart Matters” testing event in Birmingham city centre, to demonstrate our heart sound analysis technology to clinicians, policymakers and members of the public. The event was organised by charity Heart Valve Voice, in...
