International Support to Our Faculty Member Prof. Dr. Hatice Köse’s Project TECH-TOYS

The project titled “TECH-TOYS: Acquire digiTal biomarkErs in InfanCy witH sensorized TOYS for early detection and monitoring of neurodevelopmental disorders”, whose Turkey coordinator is ITU Faculty of Computer and Informatics, Department of Artificial Intelligence and Data Engineering faculty member Prof. Dr. Hatice Köse, is granted support.

Within the framework of ERA PerMed Joint Transnational Call made for the fourth time this year with the partnership of research institutions in Turkey, Italy, Germany and France, the supports given under the heading “Multidisciplinary Research Projects On Personalised Medicine – Development Of Clinical Support Tools For Personalised Medicine Implementation” have been announced. The project titled “TECH-TOYS: Acquire digiTal biomarkErs in InfanCy witH sensorized TOYS for early detection and monitoring of neurodevelopmental disorders”, submitted to the call under the Turkey coordinatorship of Department of Artificial Intelligence and Data Engineering faculty member Prof. Dr. Hatice Köse, is granted support.

In this study, it is planned to diagnose and follow-up infants with Cerebral Palsy by using sensor game platforms and artificial intelligence supported methods.

We congratulate our faculty member and wish her success in the project.
