How to create more robust, reliable, and conscious artificial intelligence models that ensure data preservation and privacy? This is the motto of the 2022 edition of VISion Understanding and Machine Intelligence (VISUM), a summer school promoted by the Institute for Systems and Computer Engineering, Technology and Science (INESC TEC). Over a week, researchers, students, engineers, and scientists from around the world will have access to a training programme, mentoring and networking sessions, and will also be able to participate in an artificial intelligence competition.

Patients with Parkinson's disease will be able to monitor the symptoms associated with the disease and send data, in real time, to the healthcare professionals who follow them - from home, and via their mobile phones. This innovation in the health area is only possible thanks to the iHandUapp system, a mobile technology developed by the Institute for Systems and Computer Engineering, Technology and Science (INESC TEC); it also features a web platform that aggregates the data and provides healthcare professionals with a record of the clinical evolution of patients.

Around two million euros is the amount available for EU member-countries’ companies to develop 14 technological solutions to be applied in the European electricity sector. The initiative, launched as part of a funding programme within the scope of the largest European research project to date – InterConnect – led by INESC TEC, is open until July 26. The objective is to design interoperable prototypes that support the digitalisation of the electricity sector.

Researchers from A. Silva Matos Metalomecânica, Institute for Systems and Computer Engineering, Technology and Science (INESC TEC), Porto’s School of Engineering (ISEP), Portuguese Institute for Sea and Atmosphere (IPMA) and Interdisciplinary Centre of Marine and Environmental Research (CIIMAR) developed a system dedicated to the collection and life-support of species up to 1000 meters deep. This solution enables bringing the species to the surface without any damage caused by pressure differences and keeping them alive for further studies. The first tests will take place between April 23 and May 2, aboard the Mário Ruivo research vessel.

Lung cancer is one of the most common and deadliest in the world. The biopsy is the method used for its diagnosis and characterisation, and although it allows obtaining valuable information, it could lead to certain clinical issues. The LuCaS (Lung cancer screening - A non-invasive methodology for early diagnosis) project aims to make decision support systems in the characterisation of lung cancer more objective and quantitative.

According to the Portuguese Road Safety Authority, car accidents have a very significant impact on our society, with drowsiness being one of the main causes of accidents in Portugal. This was the basis for the development of the project AUTOMOTIVE – AUTOmatic multimodal drowsiness detection for smart VEhicles, which focused on the study and development of methodologies for driver monitoring, with particular emphasis on fatigue and drowsiness detection, using sensors on the steering wheel.

The PAFSE project – Partnerships for Science Education – comprehends nine institutions from four countries – Portugal, Greece, Cyprus, and Poland. In Portugal, it is led by the National School of Public Health and supported by the Directorate-General for Education and the Directorate-General for Health. The European Commission (EC) allocated €1.46M to fund the project. This is good news for the country, since it has a positive impact on the Portuguese participation and leadership in the European research support programme.

Researchers from the Institute for Systems and Computer Engineering, Technology and Science (INESC TEC) developed a mobile platform for metabolic monitoring in precision viticulture. The solution integrates advanced sensors using light to measure the organic changes that occur in the plant, in order to ensure the harvest's high quality. This is the first technology of its kind in the world, and is being tested in the Douro region, at Quinta do Seixo and Quinta dos Aciprestes.
