The mission of the eHealth R&D group is to support our partners and customers in improving how healthcare is delivered by exploring new technologies and turning them into applied research solutions. This will produce a positive growth in their competitiveness through new and innovative technological services aimed to increase the efficiency and quality of healthcare services.
Our vision is to become a reference into both healthcare and social care by delivering ICT technologies that bring values to all the stakeholders: users, healthcare organizations, social workers and their providers.
We lead the way forward to a personalized, preventive, predictive and evidence based medicine, and also to a better quality of life for the elderly and for people with functional diversity and chronic conditions. Our technological expertise is complemented by some of our healthcare services providers, hospitals, clinicians and life science researchers, and this has allowed us to evolve our orientation and approach from the needs and requirements of medical and assistive practice.
Our specialization, which lies in the convergence of engineering and biology, and specifically in the application of knowledge engineering in the biomedical field, is relevant in the context of the current challenges of our society, which needs solutions to optimize quality and efficiency of healthcare.
The group develops and manages health projects in collaboration with leading institutions, universities and companies in the field of e-health.
