June’s session of Belfast Science Café will be co-hosted by Dr. Raymond Bond from the Computer Science Research Institute at The University of Ulster and Dr. Peter O’Hare, Global Product Manager at HeartSine. They will explain how research in computing and engineering has revolutionised the ways in which doctors examine and treat heart disease.

We will see how advances in technology allow doctors to visualise the heart’s activity like never before and have led to the development of smart decision support tools to improve clinical decision making and diagnostics. In addition, they will show how eye tracking technology can be used to understand and measure the cardiologist’s performance and how wearable technology can detect stress and fatigue in surgeons, helping to reduce errors and improve patient safety.

This promises to be a fascinating talk and will take place in our usual venue in The Green Room, Black Box Café. Admission is free, doors open at 6:00 pm, the talk will begin at 6:30 pm and finish by 8:00 pm
