University of Missouri College of Engineering student Anup Mishra recently won the People’s Choice award at the 3MT competition.
Mishra, a PhD candidate in electrical engineering and computer science, presented a three-minute thesis on creating personalized alerts to reduce alarm fatigue using machine learning techniques in health care settings. His work improves current monitoring systems by using personalized health predictions such that the system sends customized health alerts, potentially reducing false alarms.
In a hospital or health care setting, that would take the guesswork out of responding to numerous alerts, and it would allow medical professionals to better respond to alerts that require immediate attention.
