Teachers: Darío Santos, Isabel Morales, Andrea Mattiozzi, María Rene Ledezma and Franco Simini.

BIOMEDICAL EQUIPMENT

Development of biomedical equipment in response to clinical needs: ABDOPRE, to reduce intra-abdominal pressure, DIAPODALdiabetic foot alert, IMPETOM reconstruction of tomographic slices for monitoring pulmonary oedema, NEFROVOL evolution of renal volume in polycystic patients, DINABANG measurement of strength and speed of lower limbs in rehabilitation or training and others described in TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER and in PROJECTS.
Thesis:Isabel Morales, Eduardo Santos, Daniel Thevenet, Natalia Garay and 2 degree projects.
Teachers: Isabel Morales, Mariana González, Maria Rene Ledezma, Pablo Sánchez and Franco Simini

MEDICAL INFORMATICS

Study of medical thinking and the doctor/patient relationship to propose systems that tend to improve care: SIMIC/SEPEPE as "prescription" Apps connected to the medical record, for monitoring heart failure and pregnancy control, PRAXIS/PRATESIS as a computerised diagnostic and behavioural assistant based on casuistry, PARKIBIP replica of gait rehabilitation exercises for people with Parkinson's contained in a mobile phone App with inertial sensors in lower limbs, and others described in TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER and in PROJECTS.
Thesis: Matías Galnares and 3 degree projects.
Teachers: Silvana Pidre, Natalia Garay, and Franco Simini.

CLINICAL ENGINEERING

Study and systematisation of the management of biomedical equipment and professional training in Clinical Engineering, through consultancy/audits, Courses, Internships and Residencies: Pablo Sánchez and Luis Salcedo (Hosp. Tacuarembó) and Victoria Severi (Hosp. Maciel) - 2021.
Teachers: Horacio Venturino, Isabel Morales y Franco Simini

DESIGN AND USABILITY

In collaboration with the Escuela Universitaria Centro de Diseño de la Facultad de Arquitectura, user centred-design whether medical or patient-centred, is a complementary objective of the NIB's lines of research.

MONOGRAPHS

Since 1992, the Biomedical Engineering Seminar has brought together students, professionals and companies to study some 15 applications or systems each year. The monographs are written in depth on a specific aspect of a lecture, under the guidance of guest lecturers. As a contribution to the development of research, the writing of the Monograph involves learning the technique of scientific writing, the use of a reference manager and techniques for presentation at conferences.
