The integration of a collaborative VR framework that integrates serious games with varying levels of complexity allows to enhance motivation, engagement, and social interaction among stroke survivors. The system, developed by a IEETA team, enables healthcare professionals to monitor participants in real-time through a dedicated tool, allowing for dynamic adjustments and personalized VR experiences. This […]
Time series are data points collected at regularly spaced time intervals. Time series of counts are a special type of time series considering only non-negative integer values. An example is the daily number of hospital admissions, which can be zero or any other positive integer value. This type of data requires models that ensure the […]

🏥 Identifying biomedical named entities from clinical narratives has a great interest in the scientific community due to its importance in treatment improvements, drug development research, and patient record analysis. 💪 Traditional approaches often focus on recognizing a single entity type (such as chemicals), yet recent advancements emphasize the necessity of addressing multi-class scenarios. 🧠 […]
We are pleased to announce an upcoming seminar titled “Bio-radar system – as a remote device for biomarkers evaluation and definition.” The seminar will shed light on the innovative Bio-Radar system, which enables the remote measurement of vital signs, such as respiratory and cardiac signals, using electromagnetic waves. Unlike traditional methods that require physical contact […]
The book “Vultos da Eletrotecnia e da Computação. Uma Viagem Histórica do Século XVIII ao Século XXI”, coordinated by retired professor from the Department of Electronics, Telecommunications, and Informatics (DETI) at the University of Aveiro (UA), Francisco Vaz, and by Pedro Guedes de Oliveira, Emeritus Professor at the University of Porto and current member of […]
Last week, Carolina Almeida, a master’s student in biomedical engineering, was awarded the Best Paper Award at the IEEE Melecon conference. Her work introduces a novel heart rate variability (HRV) detection system based on mobile photoplethysmography (PPG) acquisition. This innovation led to a proof-of-concept study demonstrating the feasibility of using mobile PPG-derived HRV as a […]
Today, we celebrate a special occasion: the 25th anniversary of the Institute of Electronics and Informatics Engineering of Aveiro, IEETA. For the past 25 years, IEETA has been a place of innovation, hard work, and important contributions to science and society. However, our journey started before that, in 1985, with a primary focus on information […]
Two of the 60 researchers at University of Aveiro (UAveiro) considered to be “most influential researchers with the greatest impact throughout their career” are IEETA researchers. This recognition comes from the annual Elsevier Data Repository study, carried out by Stanford University and now released. Congratulations to Paulo Jorge Ferreira and Armando J. Pinho on this […]
It is called GermIrrad, and it is a robot that autonomously disinfects public spaces, even when they are being used by people, using ultraviolet radiation and non-harmful chemical solutions to human health. Developed at the University of Aveiro (UA), the robot is capable of mapping the environment, determining an efficient disinfection trajectory, executing that trajectory […]
