RELATED PROJECTS
- The Wireless Communications and Technologies Research Group (WiComTec) at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC) is participating in a project to develop and implement solutions based on the Internet of Everything to make mobile drone communication safer and more efficient.
- A team of researchers from the Acoustic and Mechanical Engineering Laboratory (LEAM) in the Centre for Advanced Technologies in Mechanics (CATMech) at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC) is participating in the development of a method that can generate and update noise maps for cities via mobile acoustic sensors.
- A team of researchers from the ISI group at the UPC is developing technology to be able to monitor animals’ cardiovascular parameters in a non-invasive way. This tool is designed to facilitate the work of vets and professionals who look after animals, as it can be used to measure vital signs in as little time as possible and provides more information than current electrocardiogram systems.
- A multidisciplinary team whose participants include the Microbiology Service of the Vall d’Hebrón University Hospital, the Microbiology research group of the Vall d’Hebron Research Institute (VHIR), the Computational Biology and Complex Systems Group (BIOCOM-SC UPC), the Image and Video Processing Group (GPI) and the Database Technologies and Information Management Group (DTMI) at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC), and Fundación Probitas, have presented a new diagnostic method for malaria based on artificial intelligence.
