Dr. Clifton Haider

 Today there exist countless unmet clinical needs for which physiological monitoring is a necessity. However, medical device development is time-consuming and often requires iterative design through clinical trials and device and/or sensor modification. This talk focuses on the basic science of discovery, design, calibration to accelerate fielding of physiologic monitors. A device developed for long term remote data logging will be discussed as well as fundamental algorithms and numerical modeling as discovery platforms to understand how the next generation of sensors and devices might be clinically useful.

Biography:

Clifton R. Haider, Ph.D., studies the methods by which health care researchers design and field autonomous, noninvasive physiologic monitors to extract predictive biomarkers in human performance, sleep disorders, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative disease, as well as cardiovascular collapse in trauma and surgery.

Today there exist countless unmet pediatric and adult clinical needs for which physiological monitoring is a necessity. However, medical device development is time-consuming — requiring iterative design through clinical trials and device and sensor modification. In order to accelerate device development, Dr. Haider has established a mathematical, algorithmic, software and laboratory discovery platform for novel physiologic sensing.

The discovery platform incorporates statistical modeling, design and demonstration of physiologic sensor limits to ensure that the first medical device prototype captures the pathophysiology of interest. The numerical design phase is immediately followed by integration of the new sensor into a scalable Mayo Clinic-developed miniature physiologic monitor that permits on-body validation.
