Stageopdracht: Machine Learning voor Bloeddrukmeting

Are you curious about how machine learning can contribute to innovative healthcare solutions?

About Demcon

Finapres Medical Systems is at the forefront of technology development for continuous non-invasive blood pressure measurement, autonomic testing, and hemodynamics. We specialize in the development and distribution of medical devices and software for entirely non-invasive hemodynamic monitoring. Our Finapres NOVA technologies are globally recognized as a gold standard in hemodynamic research, relying on the most accurate and robust model-based computation of cardiac output (Finapres Modelflow).

What are you going to do?

With the growing prevalence of machine learning, DEMCON is exploring how this technology can be applied to estimate blood pressure using PPG (Photoplethysmography) signals. Although literature shows this is feasible, current implementations do not meet the accuracy standards required by Finapres.

During this internship, you will work on novel ideas to develop a machine learning system capable of estimating blood pressure from PPG data. Your tasks may include:

• Analyzing state-of-the-art techniques.
• Designing a hardware demonstrator setup for collecting PPG data.
• Developing and/or improving machine learning models for blood pressure estimation.
• Evaluating model performance and comparing it to existing solutions.

What do you bring to the table?

• You are pursuing a bachelor’s or master’s degree in Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Electrical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or a related field.
• You have a strong interest in machine learning and signal processing.
• You are analytically skilled and work independently.
• Experience with Python and ML libraries (such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, or scikit-learn) is a plus.
• You are curious, proactive, and detail-oriented

What do we offer you?

• a challenging and instructive internship in a collaborative, multidisciplinary team;
• a direct daily technical supervisor;
• a market-based internship compensation;
• and the opportunity to experience what it is like to work in a team at Demcon.
