Research
At RLT Medical Research, we have an insatiable curiosity and the desire to create new technology that will help define the remote monitoring and computing experience. Whether inspired by a suggestion from a patient or simply the search for a better way, we’re driven to innovate and push the state of the art in computer science as far as our imaginations can reach. To that end, we collaborate with universities, submit papers for peer review, and partner with medical groups to bring our research to you. Read on to discover what we’re doing to improve RLT/Cardiophonics products in the next few years.
Algorithms and Theory
We are working in several emerging fields within computer science. One is R-to-R variability as it relates to sleep apnea and QT intervals, which relates to sudden death and medication monitoring.
Recent Projects:
1. R-to-R Heart Rate Variability – project consisted of development of full R-peak algorithm for John Hopkins University Neurology. “Detection of Autonomic Tone in Brain Death”- Dr. Robert Witeck investigator.
2. A-fib algorithm – project consisted of development of algorithm that detected a-fibrillation in ambulatory patient – RLT Medical Research – Dr. Richard Trader MMsc PA-C FCCM
3. EKG Analysis – design and development of EKG program to export analog signal to text data to math lab for research study.
Hardware Development
Our research focuses on developing devices that will connect users more intimately, naturally, and efficiently with their computing environment. The devices range from small monitors to wearable devices to micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS). We collaborate with other groups to build the hardware that will support the next-generation of software. We’ve developed ideas for new types of electrodes, unique data input devices, and we’re researching remote computing hardware.
Software Development
Our research in software development spans all aspects of making patients more comfortable and software more trustworthy. It includes programming language design, compilers, software specification and verification, development environments and tools, runtime environments, formal models of software systems, software performance monitoring and optimization, and software quality improvement.
