Project Title: Detection of Cardiac Electrical Instability Prior to Cardiac Arrest 

​

Description: Babies with congenital heart defects are at high risk of cardiac arrest events, which can be challenging to predict. To overcome this, we develop an autoencoder-based detection method of cardiac signal instability to act as an early warning sign of cardiac events.
