We apply advanced digital technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), cybersecurity, cloud computing, and edge computing, to address structural challenges within the healthcare system and develop new models for remote care and monitoring. Through use cases defined in collaboration with healthcare stakeholders, we demonstrate how to enhance coordination, service accessibility, and clinical decision-making.
With a collaborative approach, we identify specific needs directly with hospitals, research centres, technology companies, and public administrations, driving projects that connect the clinical, technological, and citizen ecosystems to improve quality of life and service efficiency.
Digital health
Our team develops algorithms and digital solutions that assist healthcare professionals in diagnosis and the application of clinical protocols, ensuring alignment with the guidelines and procedures of healthcare centres.
Our research explores the use of drones for the efficient and safe transportation of medicines, biological samples, organs, and other sensitive materials, as well as for supporting emergency interventions in hard-to-access areas or critical situations.
We investigate models and digital solutions that promote the integration and improvement of healthcare services from a citizen’s perspective. We test and co-design these solutions in real-world environments and Living Labs, fostering technological adoption and active citizen participation in their well-being.
We enable cutting-edge connectivity solutions that allow for the real-time tracking of patients outside the hospital environment. These solutions improve patient safety and well-being, facilitating proactive care management and enabling early intervention in critical situations. This ultimately leads to more efficient healthcare delivery.
The i2CAT team leverages high-capacity 5G networks and immersive technologies to advance medical training and patient care significantly. These solutions facilitate highly realistic medical simulations, allowing healthcare professionals to practice complex procedures in a safe, virtual environment, enhancing their skills and preparedness without risk to patients. Remote-assisted therapy and tele-assistance make healthcare more accessible and optimise the response times of emergency services.
At i2CAT, we research technologies for the advanced use of health data, focusing on the integration and secure exchange of clinical data between diverse systems, to gain a global view of patients and facilitate personalised medicine. We apply synthetic data generation techniques to ensure privacy and expand data availability for training and validating artificial intelligence models in real-world contexts.
