IEEE Women in Engineering is an initiative with the goal to facilitate the recruitment and retention of women in technical disciplines globally. We envision a vibrant community of IEEE women and men collectively using their diverse talents to innovate for the benefit of humanity.

Early Career Talks aims to expose the participants to novel areas and aspect of engineering in solving real world problems. It also aims to establish a link for networking and to create a connection for research opportunities.

ABSPIE Lab's Busola Oronti been invited to present their research after a rigorous selection process. This is an online event that will take place on Saturday 22nd of October between 12 and 1:30pm. Busol will be one of four presenters at the event selected from different universities across the UK.

Talk Title: An optimised python tool for analysing time and frequency domain features of heart rate variability (HRV) signals.

Talk topic: Over the past half-century, heart rate variability (HRV) measures have been identified and developed as a quantitative marker of autonomic activity. MATLAB-based HRV analysis tools are the most common. However, because Python is currently the programming language of choice in software development, we undertook to optimise existing HRV analysis tools implemented in Python to enhance ease of use, accuracy, proper documentation and performance. This talk describes the process of developing this tool as part of an in-depth research on optimizing the discriminatory power of HRV measures for multi-class categorization of congestive heart failure (CHF) severity.
