My name is Peter Doggart, and I'm a tech enthusiast with a mission: using AI to improve healthcare. Currently, I wear three hats – Chief Technology Officer at PulseAI, a Belfast startup building AI software for ECG analysis, PhD researcher at Ulster University, and an Industrial Fellow of the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851.
My journey started with a master's degree in engineering from Bangor University, and soon after, I became a chartered engineer with the Institution of Engineering and Technology. The past five years have been a whirlwind in the healthcare tech world, with inventions and publications galore. Before that, I was knee-deep in automotive research at Jaguar Land Rover and Warwick University, where I even got a patent for my work on vehicle communication systems.
But healthcare is where my heart truly lies. I see AI as a game-changer, a force that can revolutionize how we diagnose and treat diseases. My passion is building tools for early detection, boosting the accuracy of medical procedures, and making healthcare more efficient and accessible for everyone.
As Chief Technology Officer at PulseAI, I spearhead the development and implementation of cutting-edge AI solutions for ECG analysis. Our mission is to transform cardiac care by providing clinicians with powerful, accessible tools for accurate and timely diagnosis.
Key responsibilities:
I was responsible for leading the technical activities across B-Secur's algorithm development team. This covered a diverse and complex portfolio of research projects in the ECG, healthcare, and consumer device space. During my tenure, I was responsible for peer reviews of all algorithm technical deliverables and software, as well as coaching others and providing expert advice and company-wide training on new technologies.
I was responsible for delivering B-Secur's ECG technologies and software. I was responsible for driving the development of new ideas across several focus areas, including digital signal processing, physiological monitoring, and intellectual property capture.
I was a member of a small, specialized V2X technology team, tasked with conducting research and developing next-generation vehicle communications systems, collaborating closely with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Autonomous Vehicle engineers. This included working with the 802.11p (DSRC), LTE / Cellular, and LTE-Direct (3GPP Rel-14) ecosystems for car-to-car and car-to-infrastructure features. Additionally, this work involved working on large consortium/collaboration projects, working directly with other automotive OEMs, universities, and public bodies.
