Presentation at the Diczfalusy Symposium
Focus on Preterm Infants
The 16th Diczfalusy Conference, held in Szeged, Hungary, attracted once again substantial professional interest. During the multi-day event, participants explored current issues in gynecology and pediatrics.
Flóra Fehér, a researcher from HUN-REN SZTAKI, presented on the possibilities of non-contact monitoring for infants and preterm babies. This research is being carried out with the support of the National Laboratory for Translational Neuroscience (TINL, RRF-2.3.1-21-2022-00011) and aims to utilize artificial intelligence for non-contact tracking of preterm infants' activity levels, behavioral states, and sleep-wake cycles — factors crucial for their future neurological development.
The presentation provided in-depth insight into the collaborative efforts between Semmelweis University’s Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs) and HUN-REN SZTAKI's development team, which involves neonates and their families in the research process. Flóra Fehér also reviewed the results achieved so far, challenges yet to be addressed, and future goals.
Broadcasted via Zoom, the presentation sparked numerous questions about AI training and monitoring infants' vital functions, prompting significant interest in future collaboration opportunities.
