Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To develop clusters of morphological, behavioral, biochemical, and physiological indicators for the preclinical diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases. Biological signals will be captured using a device (ear thermometer prototype) and analyzed through geometric and spectral topology approaches, based on the intrinsic properties of complex networks. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Develop three types of multidimensional complex networks for each individual in our dataset and complex networks for the groups, enabling both individual and global spectral analysis. ;Identify differences in the spectra between these sets to understand how geometry and topology change among groups. This allows the unique characterization of an individual based on their spectrum and determines how distant they are from groups with comorbidities.;Construct multidimensional objects formed by triplets of strongly correlated variables within both developed complex networks, referred to as “triplets”, which can be dynamically used to assess whether we are moving closer to or farther from potential CVD indicators. | — |
