Health issues have become extremely important, due to the aging of the population as a result of increased life expectancy. There has been an increase in demand for advanced medical tools and devices for better diagnosis and treatment of many diseases.
The AC3E works on the application of the principles of electrical and electronic engineering for the development of medical devices, protocols and other tools to help diagnose and treat pathological conditions of interest. Research topics in this area are biomedical signals, sensors and devices; neural and rehabilitation engineering; physiological modeling, and a new analytical edge of biomedical data.
The latter is the result of a more robust capability in data analytics and AI, in response to market opportunities in the global healthcare industry where trends point to the intersection of healthcare and AI offerings. numerous applications for this area.
The main objective of the work of this area is to generate solutions, based on research, that allow supporting the health industry in Chile.
