Ms Xinzhu Li
Phd Candidate
University of Sydney

Agreement between MotionWatch8 and Polysomnography sleep outcomes in Menopausal Women

2:25 PM - 2:37 PM

Biography

Xinzhu (Cynthia) Li, a PhD candidate at The University of Sydney and a Hospital Scientist in sleep and respiratory at NSW Health, Australia, has a multidisciplinary background in sport somatic science and biomedical engineering. Her PhD research focuses on menopause-related sleep quality. Cynthia contributes to clinical research and assists in crafting effective treatment plans to optimize patient outcomes. Her interests include sleep hygiene, women's health, exercise science, digital health, and wearable devices, all aimed at enhancing healthcare practices and patient well-being through innovative technologies and lifestyle management strategies.
Dr Dwayne Mann
Postdoctoral Research Fellow
University of Queensland

Investigating the effects of airflow signal filtering on non-invasively quantified estimates of flow limitation

2:38 PM - 2:50 PM

Biography

Dwayne is currently a biomedical engineering postdoctoral fellow, and despite working primarily ‘behind the scenes’ on signals analysis, he remains mindful of the clinical sleep environment. He continues to be tortured by his own thirst for understanding phenomena we call ‘sleep disordered breathing’ and the ‘social science of sleep’. He is keen to reach beyond the keyboard and help unravel new insights into these aspects of sleep such that the broader community may benefit.
