AzAdeh YAdollAhi, Ph.d.
Meet Azadeh Yadollahi,
Ph.D., an exceptional
leader in rehabilitation
research and a social
entrepreneur. As a
Scientist with the Toronto
Rehabilitation InstituteUHN and an Assistant
Professor with the Institute
of Biomaterials and
Biomedical Engineering at
the University of Toronto,
her research focuses on
developing convenient and wearable technologies to
improve respiratory disorders during sleep. Dr. Azadeh's
research has produced ground-breaking achievements
in the field of sleep research and has made huge strides
in discovering solutions for health issues like sleep
apnea, a common disorder characterized by pauses in
breathing or shallow breaths during sleep.
Dr. Azadeh's current research aims to develop and
validate a compact and convenient device (The Patch)
that can record multiple physiological signals during
sleep, such as respiratory sounds, and diagnose sleep
apnea severity across multiple nights.
With an eye to future innovation, Dr. Azadeh
recently secured a $900,000 grant with the Canadian
Foundation for Innovation and Ontario Research Fund
to develop the Soundproof Laboratory to Examine Sleep
Disorder Breathing (SleepdB) at iDAPT. SleepdB will
be the only sound-proof sleep laboratory in the world.
The sound-proof feature of SleepdB will facilitate the
development and validation of original sound sensing
technologies to monitor physiological functions such
as cardio-respiratory sounds during sleep. SleepdB
will include a full in-laboratory polysomnography
for monitoring sleep in a controlled condition. Two
portable polysomnography systems will also be used for
at-home studies, along with other equipment to assess
cardiac and respiratory function such as an ultrasound
machine.
Innovative and entrepreneurial minds like Dr.
Azadeh are creating major impacts in the field of
rehabilitation, pushing the boundaries of traditional
scientific output and creating new standards for
how applied rehabilitation research can solve real
problems.
