Vicomtech (Visual Communication and Interaction Technologies Centre) is an applied research centre with strong experience in Interactive Computer Graphics and Multimedia Systems. We can provide expertise in eHealth, Telemedicine & eInclusion Applications, mainly on computer-assisted technologies for the healthcare and assistive technology industry.
Our technical activities include:
- Advanced interfaces.
- Image analysis.
- Biomedical information management.
Main target areas are:
- Telemedicine and eHealth: Last generation of IT solutions for developing closed-loop systems based on multi-parametric monitoring, and personal health management systems, including knowledge representation, complex-data management, etc.
- e-Inclusion: integration of systems that facilitate use of information technologies to elder or disabled people.
- Advanced Interface and Usability: Personal Health System, Telerehabilitation, Health 2.0, etc.
- Visual Analytics and Data Mining: Surgical planning, 3D animations, biomedical modeling, training, etc.
- Simulation and Training: Simulation technology reproducing real clinical conditions for healthcare professional skills training and assessment, using for example interactive mannequins mimicking human anatomy, virtual reality, augmented reallity and physiological modeling (Gesture, Eye, Haptic, Speech, etc.).
- Biomedical Image Analysis: 3D Visualization, Segmentation, Multimodal registration, Automation.
- Security and biometrics: computer vision in surveillance and access control through biometric identification, intellectual property protection by brand monitoring or watermarking techniques.
