Advanced models for monitoring stress and development trajectories in premature infants (2020)
Abstract / truncated to 115 words
This thesis focuses on the design of various automatic signal processing algorithms to extract information from physiological signals of preterm infants. Overall, the aim was to improve the neurodevelopmental outcome of the neonate. More specifically, three main research objectives were carried out. The first objective was to describe the maturation of neonates during their stay in the neonatal intensive care unit. The second objective was to assess the stress and pain in premature infants and their impact on the development of neonates. The third objective was to predict developmental disabilities, such as autism. The first part of this thesis presents an extensive overview of various developmental models to describe the maturation of premature infants. Three ...
