SUMMARY:Graduate Student Seminar Series - Connor Matton
DESCRIPTION:Graduate Student Seminar Series\nPlease ensure you invite your Principal Investigator by adding their email via the ‘Add Guest’ button and they will also be notified of your presentation.\nLocation: WB116\nPresentation Title: Examining and Validating the Integration of Digital Technology for Ankle-Foot Orthosis Registration\nAbstract: Ankle-foot deformities can affect an individual’s gait and caused increased pain and discomfort during the activities of daily living. This can significantly affect quality of life and lead to further complications and health-related risks. Custom-made ankle-foot orthotics (AFOs) are widely used in patient care and rehabilitation to improve and restore ankle-foot positioning\, support\, mobility\, and stability. The traditional approach in designing custom-made AFOs relies heavily on the experience and craftsmanship of the orthotist during shape capture\, design\, and fabrication. Digital workflows in orthotics\, including design and fabrication of AFOs\, are advancing patient care and rehabilitation by improving the quality and consistency of assistive devices. Recent breakthroughs in digital technology have the potential of transforming the design processes of orthoses by replacing traditional methods. However\, there are currently large research-gaps in AFO digital workflows. It remains a challenge to translate the subjective skills of orthotists into the digital realm. Creating a visual representation of manual fabrication methods helps quantify changes in shape. This is often referred to as digital mapping. Registration is the process of digitally overlaying or superimposing two shapes with respect to each other. Consistent and effective registration methods are needed to compare (digitally map) different types of AFO workflows and designs. Current registration methods often require the use of anatomical landmarks as reference points for aligning two shapes. This process is inefficient and tedious. To address this issue\, the research objectives are to 1) investigate and validate a suitable registration method for aligning digital AFO models for shape comparison\, 2) eliminate the need for manual registration by developing a digital algorithm to streamline the registration process\, and 3) utilize the digital algorithm to align models acquired using both traditional and digital shape capture methods.\nSupervisor Name: Jan Andrysek\nYear of Study: 2\nProgram of Study: MASc\nPowered by Calendly.com

SUMMARY:Driving Innovation with Real-World Evidence from Patient Generated Content
DESCRIPTION:On October 20th\, CARTE Industry Speaker Seminar Series welcomes Dr. Ali Vahit Esensoy\, Vice President\, Data Sciences at Klick Consulting. \nTitle: Driving Innovation with Real-World Evidence from Patient Generated Content \nSpeaker: Dr. Ali Vahit Esensoy\, Vice President\, Data Science at Klick Consulting \nModerator: Professor Michael W. Carter\, \nDate and Time: Friday\, October 20\, 2023 (12:00 – 1:00 PM EST) \nLocation: Myhal Centre for Engineering Innovation & Entrepreneurship (55 St. George Street)\, Room 380 \nAbstract: Real-world evidence (RWE) is increasingly important for finding innovation opportunities and bringing novel healthcare solutions to market. Insights sourced from novel data streams like social media and patient discussions can be critical to build and launch the right solutions. Advances in machine learning have simplified tapping into non-standard data for clinically relevant patient insights.  In this talk\, we will present case studies of generating RWE from a range of novel data with the goal of expanding the RWE toolkit for innovation programs in healthcare. \nSpeaker Bio: Ali Vahit is a senior leader in the Klick Consulting team and leverages over 15 years of experience in health data science to help clients build solutions to address clinical and business challenges while pursuing growth. He has extensive practical experience in building advanced analytics solutions spanning various care sectors for consumer health\, digital therapeutics\, chronic diseases\, diagnostic imaging\, emergency medicine\, and mental health. These solutions were used to evaluate the clinical and economic effectiveness of preventive health programs\, predict clinical needs at the patient level\, and optimize commercial and operational outcomes. Ali holds Master’s and PhD degrees in Industrial Engineering and continues to be active in research and teaching as adjunct faculty in the Dalla Lana School of Public Health at the University of Toronto. \nAll are welcome to attend. No registration required.
