# Thesis proposal
|
|
|
|
This is my thesis proposal document and presentation.
|
|
|
|
## How to write the proposal
|
|
|
|
The outline of a research proposal looks as follows:
|
|
1. Background
|
|
- Introduce the background information about the chosen topic
|
|
- Reading some literature is necessary, the advisor may provide some suggested literature
|
|
2. Motivation
|
|
- Clearly state the problems that need to be solved
|
|
3. Objectives
|
|
- Clearly state the objectives and expected outcomes of the research that can solve the problem
|
|
4. Tasks
|
|
- A workflow or a list showing how the objectives can be achieved and what approaches will be applied
|
|
- A Gantt chart or a time table can be used to demonstrate how the tasks will be split according to a timeline (SMART milestones)
|
|
5. References
|
|
- List references in [Vancouver](https://guides.lib.monash.edu/citing-referencing/vancouver) style with abbreviated journal names, or refer to the [NLM Guidelines](https://www.nlm.nih.gov/bsd/uniform_requirements.html)
|
|
|
|
> **SMART milestones**
|
|
> S = Specific - target a specific area for improvement
|
|
> M = Measurable - quantify or at least suggest an indicator of progress
|
|
> A = Assignable - specify who will do it
|
|
> R = Realistic - state what results can realistically be achieved, given available resources
|
|
> T = Time-limited - specify when the result(s) can be achieved
|
|
|
|
## Literature Research
|
|
|
|
I have used the following search queries:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
TITLE-ABS-KEY (("patient" OR "clinical" OR "medical") AND ("deterioration" OR "instability" OR "decompensation" OR "admission" OR "hospitalization" OR "escalation" OR "triage" OR "emergency"))
|
|
AND TITLE-ABS-KEY ( "early warning" OR "early warning score" OR "warning" OR "score*" OR "EWS" )
|
|
AND TITLE-ABS-KEY ( "system*" OR "automat*" OR "smart*" OR "wearable*" OR "internet of thing*" OR "IOT" OR "digital" OR "sensor*" OR "signal" OR "intelligen*" OR "predict*" OR "monitor*" OR "sreen*" OR ( ( "vital*" OR "bio*" ) AND ( "marker*" OR "sign*" OR "monitor*" ) ))
|
|
AND TITLE-ABS-KEY ( 'continuous' OR 'outpatient' OR 'home' OR 'remote' OR 'domestic')
|
|
|
|
|
|
TITLE-ABS-KEY (("patient" OR "clinical" OR "medical") AND ("deterioration" OR "instability" OR "decompensation" OR "admission" OR "hospitalization" OR "escalation" OR "triage" OR "emergency")) AND TITLE-ABS-KEY ( "early warning" OR "early warning score" OR "warning" OR "score*" OR "EWS" ) AND TITLE-ABS-KEY ( "system*" OR "automat*" OR "smart*" OR "wearable*" OR "internet of thing*" OR "IOT" OR "digital" OR "sensor*" OR "signal" OR "intelligen*" OR "predict*" OR "monitor*" OR "sreen*" OR ( ( "vital*" OR "bio*" ) AND ( "marker*" OR "sign*" OR "monitor*" ) )) AND TITLE-ABS-KEY ( 'continuous' OR 'outpatient' OR 'home' OR 'remote' OR 'domestic')
