Joris van Houte

Joris van Houte is a researcher at Eindhoven University of Technology and Catharina Hospital specializing in ultrasound-based hemodynamic monitoring for perioperative care. His work integrates biomedical engineering with clinical anesthesiology to develop non-invasive cardiovascular assessment tools.

Research Focus: Primary interests include Cardiovascular Medicine, Medical Imaging, and Anesthesiology, with emphasis on Doppler ultrasound techniques for real-time hemodynamic assessment during surgery. Current projects target spinal anesthesia-induced hypotension prediction and cardiac output quantification.

Recent publications (2024-2025) reveal a cohesive research trajectory: advancing carotid Doppler methodologies for perioperative monitoring. Key innovations include pulse wave velocity estimation, handheld echocardiography validation, and carotid flow time as a left ventricular ejection time surrogate. These studies consistently address clinical translation of engineering solutions.

His doctoral research culminates in the 2025 thesis Carotid Doppler Ultrasound for Hemodynamic Monitoring in Perioperative Care, with findings already covered in medical press releases highlighting clinical relevance for stroke prevention and anesthesia safety.
