This $768,122 Project Grant from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences will support the development of statistical software to predict adverse medical events in preterm infants using multi-sensor streaming data. The awardee, William D Shannon Consulting LLC doing business as Biorankings, will develop an algorithm to transform sensor data from neonatal intensive care units into graphical representations of associations. Decision rules from statistical process control will then determine when data indicates events like intraventricular hemorrhage.

The aims are to develop the software using a large retrospective neonatal intensive care unit dataset from Washington University for testing in Phase I. Phase II would involve implementing the algorithm for real-time use in a neonatal intensive care unit to provide alerts to clinical staff. The algorithm could also potentially be extended for other sensor data and medical conditions. If successful, this work under the National Institutes of Health's Biomedical Research and Research Training program could lead to commercial products for improving patient care and predictive analytics tools across various types of medical Internet of Things data.
