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.
