The fluid around our brain moves with our body’s pulses. Studies of this dynamic are offering new insights into the underlying mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases. Researcher at Mines Saint-Étienne, Alexandra Vallet’s work is based on this cross-disciplinary approach. It focuses on how our brain’s mechanical properties and fluid-structure interactions influence its health and aging.
How can technology and social media in particular help and support parents of children with cancer?

For several years now, a team from IMT Atlantique has been working in cooperation with doctors from Brest University Hospital and a psychologist from Fondation Bon Sauveur in Bégard to improve early detection of mental disorders such as schizophrenia and to reduce suicidal relapses. The success of this approach based on digital tools lies in the robustness of the analysis and decision models the scientists have developed. It is also dependent on the quality of the health data, which must be correctly recorded by hospital staff.
Federated learning is a way to collaboratively train artificial intelligence models. It thus represents a possible solution to AI biases, often caused by training said models on samples that lack diversity. In the healthcare sector, these biases can lead to problems of equity between patients. The EQUIHid project explores how federated learning can help develop more equitable healthcare services.
