• Development of computerized clinical decision support systems (CCDSS):

In order to improve the management of vital distress in children, I am working on the development of computerized clinical decision support systems (CCDSS), particularly for the management of respiratory distress. From 2009 to 2019, I led a North American group on the development of CCDSS for mechanical ventilation (PREVENT group). Since 2020, I have been leading a research group and supervising students on the development of CCDSS in pediatric acute care. This work has resulted in some 30 peer-reviewed international manuscripts and 30 international conferences on CCDSS over the past 5 years. I was awarded a FRQS chair ($1.5M; co-directed with Dr Rita Noumeir) on the development and validation of clinical decision support systems using artificial intelligence, and then funding for a group in the same field. With the team around me, we are now implementing these systems in clinical settings.

• Technology transfer:

I collaborate with several research engineers in the development of medical devices based on new technologies including: electrical impedance tomography (A Adler, Carleton University), machine learning in imaging (R Noumeir, ETS ; L Seoud, Polytechnique Montréal), mathematical modeling and CCDSS (N Larichi & LM Rousseau, Polytechnique Montréal & HEC), validation of CCDSS for intensive care management using high-resolution databases. Over the years, I've acquired extensive experience in the various phases of medical device development, from design to implementation.
