Projects

The purpose of the research program is to identify, on theoretical and empirical grounds, strategies to increase or build trust and thereby support the responsible development, adoption, and ethically informed use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems in the Ticino clinical health sector.

The aim of the RENEWAL project is to rigorously evaluate teleworking impacts on employees’ and companies’ energy consumption, carbon emissions, and subjective well-being. As BSP group, we will analyse teleworkers’ biometric parameters, spatial mobility data and self-reported energy consumption data,  thus  estimating  teleworking’s  impacts both in terms of within-person variations across days or activities, and as between-person variations according to different types of teleworking organisational settings.

GESSE is an automated sleep staging system. The aim is to build a sleep scoring algorithm pre-trained on standard scalp EEG recordings, to then transfer the knowledge to the IDUN Guardian in-ear EEG system.

Aim of this project is to develop a mobile application with a smart support system for burnout prevention. Data from wearable devices will be collected, combined with data from usage of the app. The collected data will be used to evaluate the risk of burnout through a personalized algorithm for burnout prevention. Information obtained will be used as an input for the AI algorithm and communicated to the user in a form of personal assistant (chatbot).

The aim of BCperTT is to provide a personalised support for telemonitoring Breast Cancer Treatment. It will be composed of an advanced thermal camera, a mobile application that integrates advanced AI algorithms and educational and social support.

CMIPA will be the first digital personalised technology system tailored to monitor, identify, predict Cardiac Inherited Arrhythmogenic Diseases. Other winning keys are the capability of detecting ECG morphological alteration (i.e. during fever, stress, Codiv19, sport, medication) and the alerting of local emergency services, offering a complete and unique service.

CUOREMA is an innovative behavioural change support system with nudging and gamification elements aiming to increase adherence of the patients in the cardio-vascular rehabilitation program. Information gathered by fusing of the data from wearable devices and questionnaires is transformed by artificial intelligence and statistical modelling to a biofeedback. Personalised nudging strategy and game are the key elements for increasing the motivation of the user.

We aim at exploiting the AutoPlay monitoring system, toys equipped with inertial sensors, for the study of ludic child manipulation. The identification of specific features for the differentiation of neuro – developmental disorders, could lead to an earlier diagnosis, of  ASD in particular. Anticipating a clearer diagnosis can certainly lead to better therapy outcomes.
