Highlights
INDUSTRIAL TRANSFER
international extension patent “Intelligent bioimpedance sensor for biomedical applications”. National patent application: “Intelligent platform for the monitorization of body composition and assessment of the nutritional and hydration state of the user”. Press notes concerning patent P200201710 (fall detection) have been covered by 30+ newspapers and a tv report by Telemadrid. Contact with diverse social/health institutions (Sanitas Mayores, Atenzia). A collaboration agreement has been signed with Fundación ATAM for the validation of the prototype in groups of persons with different impairments. Participation in the international advisory board of project EPSILON (ATAM).
CLINICAL TRANSFER
research and development of a prototype of smart shirt applied to the rehabilitation in COPD, in collaboration with the Unit of Respiratory Diseases (HUVR), within grant PI15/00306. Expression of interest of Prof. Félix del Campo (Hospital Río Hortega) to adapt the smart shirt to the monitorization of sleep apnea. Grant application to the Research Program at US for its implementation (approved), together with other grants for patent development. Ongoing validation for E-Nefro platform (grant DTS15/00195) in five hospitals. Given the number of patients under the program, it was necessary to extend the number of research nephrologists. Start of collaboration with Dr. Pablo Mir (IBIS) for the application of IBC techniques to neuromodulation (NeuroIBC intramural project). Ongoing collaboration with Drs. Álvaro Pascual and Jesús Rodríguez-Baño (HUVM), leading to a paper published in an international journal and another in review process.
DIFFUSION
