Vote Mark Hoogendoorn, Job Calis and IMPALA to the Finals
Job Calis (on behalf of the ICK of the Emma Children's Hospital of the Amsterdam UMC) and Mark Hoogendoorn (on behalf of the QDA group at the VU) have been nominated for the Amsterdam Science & Innovation award with the IMPALA project.
The aim of their project is to develop a smart monitor that will improve the care of sick children in African hospitals and thus prevent unnecessary child deaths. The IMPALA team focuses mainly on developing smart algorithms (driven by machine learning) with which the monitor can recognize seriously ill children in time and can indicate this much earlier than is currently possible. The monitor will also be improved for sustainable use in Africa in the areas of technology, finance and user-friendliness. They can use all the support to succeed in this mission, so vote for them now here!
