Bio

About

I’m Nhan Van, I’m a person who is interested in analyzing. I aim to train myself to learn as much as possible to prepare for the future. When it comes to expertise, during the process of studying, I have also known more knowledge about problem-solving, strong communication skills as well as adaptability to both work and environment. Besides, activities outside like member of the IU Student Recruitment Campaign, FootBall Culb (position: event) organization such as the IU Tournament, IU League, IU Super Cup, the fifth season, and club fair. About the department, my active is BME’s video, Hello to BME, Teaching Days, and Hello new friend. As a biomedical engineering student, I may be passionate about improving healthcare outcomes for underserved communities and developing technologies that address global health challenges. My motivation to join the SBC community is that I want to experiment with how entrepreneurship and innovation can be applied to solve social and environmental challenges. And I want to network with like-minded individuals and gain practical skills and knowledge to help myself launch my own social venture in the future.

Research interests

When researching app for MCI patients, I can understanding the specific cognitive deficits that people with MCI experience can help design an app that addresses their needs and challenges.

Current research projects

The current applications for cognitive training only target memory improvement for older adults. The reason for developing this application, BrainTrain, is to make cognitive training through games more widely applicable, including in rural areas where the rate of MCI patients is up to 62%. Therefore, the cognitive games in BrainTrain will target various cognitive domains affected by MCI, including memory, attention, language, and math. In addition to designing the application, we will evaluate its effectiveness through neuropsychological tests and EEG data analysis to assess changes in cognitive performance and neurological activity in patients before and after intervention. From the analysis of these changes, we hope to elucidate the mechanism by which cognitive training games impact different cognitive domains in MCI patients. In terms of AI models, previous studies have used EEG data to build models to classify normal, MCI, or AD patients, or to detect abnormalities in the data to diagnose AD early. In this study, we will use EEG data combined with cognitive scores, demographics, medical history, and gaming data from patients in the first month of using BrainTrain to build a predictive model of intervention effectiveness. This predictive model will help doctors and patients save time in finding a more suitable intervention method.
