Se pretende estudiar la viabilidad de integración de estos algoritmos complejos en...

This project aims to develop a system for bird identification based on their songs, targeting ecosystem researchers, ornithologists, and nature enthusiasts. The system integrates the BirdNet model to process bird audio for continuous monitorization. It incorporates automatic mechanisms to record the audio from a capture device, pass it to the...

Falls have become a relevant public health issue due to their high prevalence and negative effects in elderly people. Wearable fall detector devices allow the implementation of continuous and ubiquitous monitoring systems. The effectiveness for analyzing temporal signals with low energy consumption is one of the most relevant characteristics of...

Accurate activity monitoring systems are essential to differentiate between everyday activities and events that could potentially endanger physical safety. This work analyzes the performance in terms of effectiveness of Deep Learning models, specifically Dense Neural Networks and Recurrent Neural Networks models, in the identification of...

Applied to health field, Internet of Things (IoT) systems provides continuous and ubiquitous monitoring and assistance, allowing the creation of valuable tools for diag nosis, health empowerment, and personalized treatment, among others. Advances in these systems follow different approaches, such as the integration of new protocols and...

The spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus has made the COVID-19 disease a worldwide epidemic. The most common tests to identify COVID-19 are invasive, time consuming and limited in resources. Imaging is a non-invasive technique to identify if individuals have symptoms of disease in their lungs. However, the diagnosis by this method needs to be made by...

Abnormal foot postures can be measured during the march by plantar pressures in both dynamic and static conditions. These detections may prevent possible injuries to the lower limbs like fractures, ankle sprain or plantar fasciitis. This information can be obtained by an embedded instrumented insole with pressure sensors and a low-power...

Sleep-related problems are currently an important field of study. Regular sleep drastically reduces mental illness. In this respect, more than half of the population wakes up with the feeling of not having had a good night's sleep, in many cases because they have sleep disorders that prevent them from getting a good night's sleep. One of the...

Falls are one of the leading causes of permanent injury and/or disability among the elderly. When these people live alone, it is convenient that a caregiver or family member visits them periodically. However, these visits do not prevent falls when the elderly person is alone. Furthermore, in exceptional circumstances, such as a pandemic, we...

Diagnosis aid systems that use image analysis are currently very useful due to the large workload of health professionals involved in making diagnoses. In recent years, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have been used to help in these tasks. For this reason, multiple studies that analyze the detection precision for several diseases have been...

Medical images from different clinics are acquired with different instruments and settings. To perform segmentation on these images as a cloud-based service we need to train with multiple datasets to increase the segmentation independency from the source. We also require an ef cient and fast segmentation network. In this work these two...

The use of wearable devices has increased substantially in recent years. This, together with the rise of telemedicine, has led to the use of these types of devices in the healthcare field. In this work, we carried out a detailed study on the use of these devices (regarding the general trends); we analyzed the research works and devices marketed...

Falls are current events that can lead to severe injuries and even accidental deaths among the population, especially the elderly. Since them usually live alone and their contact with other people has decreased since pandemic, recent years studies have focused on automatic fall detection systems with wearable devices using machine learning...

Automated Fundus image segmentation is tradition-ally done in the image acquisition instrument and, thus, in thiscase it only needs to be able to segment data from this acquisitionsource. Cloud providers support multi GPU and TPU virtualmachines making attractive the idea of cloud-based segmentationan interesting possibility. To implement this...

Monkeypox is a smallpox-like disease that was declared a global health emergency in July 2022. Because of this resemblance, it is not easy to distinguish a monkeypox rash from other similar diseases; however, due to the novelty of this disease, there are no widely used databases for this purpose with which to develop image-based classification...

The project consists of the creation of a roboticarm controlled remotely through a brace developed by ThalmicLabs, able to read the limb muscles' biopotentials. This projectaims to create an economic alternative to non-invasive activeprostheses that exist today. Our prosthesis can perform the samefunctions but at a so much affordable price. In...

Abnormal foot postures during gait are common sources of pain and pathologies of the lower limbs. Measurements of foot plantar pressures in both dynamic and static conditions can detect these abnormal foot postures and prevent possible pathologies. In this work, a plantar pressure measurement system is developed to identify areas with higher or...

Nowadays, the study of the gait by analyzing the distribution of plantar pressure is a well-established technique. The use of intelligent insoles allows real-time monitoring of the user. Thus, collecting and analyzing information is a more accurate process than consultations in so-called gait laboratories. Most of the previous published studies...

The elderly is a continuous growth sector thanks to the life expectancy increase in Western society. This sector is especially at risk from the appearance of respiratory diseases and, therefore, is the most affected sector in the COVID-19 epidemic. Many of these elderly require continuous care in residences or by specialized caregivers, but...

Non-verbal communication is essential in the communication process. This means that its lack can cause misinterpretations of the message that the sender tries to transmit to the receiver. With the rise of video calls, it seems that this problem has been partially solved. However, people with cognitive disorders such as those with some kind of...

Medical image segmentation can be implemented using Deep Learning methods with fast and efficient segmentation networks. Single-board computers (SBCs) are difficult to use to train deep networks due to their memory and processing limitations. Specific hardware such as Google's Edge TPU makes them suitable for real time predictions using complex...

Background: Recommender systems are information retrieval systems that provide users with relevant items (e.g., through messages). Despite their extensive use in the e-commerce and leisure domains, their application in healthcare is still in its infancy. These systems may be used to create tailored health interventions, thus reducing the cost...
