Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPetar Jerčić is a tech lead and innovation expert with a decade of experience at the intersection of healthcare, serious games, and affective AI, currently leading research and system architecture for Stressjam’s biofeedback-driven treatments. He combines deep academic roots—a PhD in Computer Science and postdoctoral work in computational social science—with hands-on R&D in medical imaging, neuroelectronics, and robotic systems across European research labs and industry. His work spans low-level embedded and high-level system design using C/C++, MATLAB, Python and C#, and follows medical-device standards (EU/FDA) from his time at Philips. Petar’s specialty is translating physiological signals (EEG, ECG, GSR) into adaptive game mechanics and therapeutic interventions, enabling measurable stress and relaxation outcomes. He’s equally at home publishing and teaching as he is shipping production-grade software, and has repeatedly bridged academia and industry through technology transfer and EU-funded projects. A less obvious strength is his track record of building empathic human–machine interactions—combining biometric sensing, serious games, and clinical insight to shape safer, more effective therapeutic systems.
