electronic health records storing ICU data are following this messaging protocol, which means we just need to integrate and plug in with those electronic health records. It actually streamlines this entire process for us. ” Third Eye has three core team members and around seven interns. It is currently fundraising and hopes to increase this. Samyakh has a very personal reason for wanting to pursue this work. “ It was my grandfather who died in the ICU that motivated me to start Third Eye, ” he reveals. “ His death sparked my interest in bringing about change because I realized there was a flaw in the ICU that could be solved by building the right technology. We just need to dig a little deeper and figure out what the problems are. ” Samyakh’s PhD is in 3D computer vision applied in surgical robotics – a different direction to Third Eye’s predictive healthcare analytics. “ My PhD has helped me be more confident to explore new areas and not be afraid of learning these new concepts on the fly, ” he tells us. “ Third Eye is mostly time-series analysis, NLP and AutoML, which are all areas I had not learnt before. ” How did he manage to juggle working on both at the same time? “ My supervisor, Stamatia Giannarou , whom I adore dearly, enabled me to continue with my PhD and do my research on the side. That support was vital in the initial stages. I am moving forward with her teachings and learning to develop my own. ” 23 DAILY MICCAI Tuesday Third Eye Intelligence
