Mental disorders: when data helps save lives

,
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.

The cruel dilemma of health data in the ai era: privacy or equity?

, ,
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.

What is methanization?

, ,
Methanization reduces the volume of organic waste and prevents biogas produced by fermentation, including methane, a potent greenhouse gas, from being dispersed into the atmosphere. Biogas is also used to produce heat, electricity and even biomethane for injection into the natural gas grid. Yves Andrès and Khaled Loubar, researchers at IMT Atlantique, tell us more about this technology which is emerging as a key driver of energy transition.

Bio-waste recovery: methanization steps on the gas!

,
Bio-waste is everywhere: in wastewater treatment plants, landfills, farms and local communities. Many stakeholders believe methanization offers a timely solution for treating such organic waste, while also producing energy. At IMT Atlantique, a research team is conducting studies on the viability of these facilities and the biogas they produce. As part of their applied research, they use complex tools involving several disciplines.

Stéphane Avril, the mechanics of human tissue

,
Stéphane Avril is a mechanical engineer, but his research focuses on the elasticity and resistance of arteries, and how this changes with disease or old age. This researcher from Mines Saint-Étienne is passionate about biology and has received a prestigious European Research Council (ERC) grant for the third time. This funding will support his next ambitious project: reversing the effects of aging on arteries by controlling mechanical wear. It represents a new phase in a journey at the interface between two disciplines.
