Model-Based Glycaemic Control for Gestational Diabetes Patients

Monash University Engineering and Information Technology
✓ Funded (Competition) ⏰ Closing Soon 🎓 Biomedical Engineering 🎓 Electronic Engineering 🎓 Health Informatics 🎓 Mechatronics 🎓 Nutrition 🎓 Robotics 🎓 Systems Engineering biomedical engineering funded PhD digital health Malaysia PhD continuous glucose monitoring gestational diabetes glycaemic control health informatics

PhD at Monash University Malaysia focused on developing personalised glycaemic control systems for gestational diabetes using computational modelling and real-time data.

Project Description

This PhD project focuses on improving the management of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) through model-based and data-driven approaches. GDM affects a significant proportion of pregnancies and is associated with serious maternal and neonatal complications. While continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems provide valuable data, translating this data into personalised treatment strategies remains a challenge. The project aims to: Develop computational models for personalised glycaemic control Integrate physiological modelling with data-driven algorithms Use real-time CGM data for adaptive decision support Design safe and culturally relevant glucose management systems The research combines: Biomedical engineering Health informatics Systems modelling Data analytics This project contributes to improved maternal health outcomes and the advancement of digital healthcare solutions.
