Biomedical Engineering Research

The impact that science and innovation can have on the prevention, early detection, and support for the diagnosis of various types of diseases is fully explored at our Centre for Biomedical Engineering Research (C-BER).


Guided by an interdisciplinary approach that prioritises technology transfer with economic impact—through the creation of new systems, tools, and methods related to disease diagnosis and monitoring, ageing, human rehabilitation, physiotherapy, and functional assessment—our researchers are dedicated to developing advanced technologies positioned at the intersection of engineering, medicine and health, and general well-being.


Promoting strategic partnerships with clinical partners, research institutes, and encouraging international cooperation is one of the centre’s key priorities. Its research is structured across three distinct areas: Biomedical Imaging, Bioinstrumentation, and Neuroengineering.

INESC TEC research highlights need to improve synchronisation of physiological data from different devices

In biomedical research and clinical monitoring, teams increasingly rely on the simultaneous use of multiple wearable and physiological sensors, which make it possible to collect different types of data using various devices - and this is where the real challenge begins. To ensure a reliable analysis of the information, the data streams need to be properly synchronised. An INESC TEC study found that 58% of multi-device systems reported in the literature have never assessed synchronisation latency - a gap that R&D can help close.
