Latest Activities

At this moment there are four (4) students Industrial Training (LI) who developing a basic prototype database system. They are progressing very well. Hopefully by the end of their 10th weeks and with database created by Dr Lilly's Master research student, a basic prototype database system can be used for future researches.

Meet Dr. Lilly Suriani

Seen here Dr. Lilly concentrated with Prof. Sim explanation.

In CAS and CAC research group first meeting to understand the system relation/flow within these two groups.

Welcome to this part of our research activity

Project Summary

Cardiothoracic Surgical System (CSS) supports the management of patients going for coronary artery bypass
graft surgery (CABG). The system incorporates the overall patients’ management, from ward admission through Intensive Care Unit (ICU), recovery and discharge in which is divided into several modules. Each module is responsible to collect data from its integrated function(s) in order to assist in comprehensive patients’ management. These modules store all data into their own database to be viewed by medical experts.

In the existing CSS, the databases are yet to be integrated - there is no centralization, resulting in heterogeneous data with different platforms. This could lead to inefficiency in terms of time and communication within the system. By introducing integration, databases could be stored, accessed and updated

This project lead by Dr. Lilly Suriani and if you have any queries regarding this project please please contact her at suriani@fsktm.upm.edu.my
simultaneously – eliminating data duplication which is beneficial to medical experts.
