Marta Carrara, a researcher from the Department of Electronics, Information and Bioengineering at the Politecnico di Milano, won first prize in the IFMBE Young Investigator Competition, with the contribution entitled “Hemodynamic cardiovascular indices to predict the response to angiotensin-II in septic shock”. The study aims to investigate new functional cardiovascular indices that can improve the hemodynamic monitoring of septic patients in the intensive care unit and their response to the administered therapy, by means of advanced mathematical techniques of physiological modelling and biomedical signal processing.
The prize was awarded to her during the 16th Mediterranean Conference on Medical and Biological Engineering and Computing (MEDICON 2023), which was held in Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Sept. 14-16, 2023.
The goal of the IFMBE Young Investigator Competition is to reward excellence in scientific contributions in the field of Biomedical Engineering made by researchers under the age of 35 on the basis of originality, clarity and potential impact on practical applications or theoretical foundations.
