RELATED PROJECTS
- Barcelona is characterised by a high consumption of bottled water (55% of the population drinks it regularly). The reasons for this behaviour tend to be dissatisfaction with the organoleptic characteristics, perceived health risks and distrust of the quality of tap water.
- The research groups Soft Computing Research Group (SOCO) and Knowledge Engineering Research Group (GREC) at UPC are developing a personalised medicine platform to improve psychological treatment for psychosis. Using predictive models, the tool will foresee the effectiveness of therapy to tailor treatment. The prototype will be tested in a year-long clinical trial with patients worldwide.
- The Radio Frequency Identification and Flexible Electronics (RFLEX) group of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC) is participating in the TELEBREATH project to better address the demand for long-term care in vulnerable groups, such as elderly and dependent people.
- The Radio Frequency Identification and Flexible Electronics (RFLEX) group at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC) is participating in ETEXHEALTH. The project is focused on finding solutions based on the application of electronic textile sensors (e-textile) to monitor biometric variables of the human body and the evolution of diseases in a minimally invasive way.
