In late September, Instituto de Telecomunicações was filmed for CNN INOVAÇÃO, a program dedicated to exploring the latest trends and breakthroughs in technology and innovation. This special series will showcase cutting-edge projects from the renowned research Institutes of Técnico. The 1st episode was already premiered last Saturday.
Instituto de Telecomunicações will soon be featured, presenting two significant projects in Artificial Intelligence and Biomedical Innovation: NextGenAI and FORTO. The segment will include insights from André Martins, Hugo Plácido da Silva, and Mario Figueiredo, our researcher, and professors of Instituto Superior Técnico.
NextGenAI - Center for Responsible AI aims to develop the next generation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) grounded in Responsible AI technologies. To achieve this, the Center for Responsible AI was established, bringing together 25 renowned partners from the business and Process & Instrumentation Diagram (P&ID) sectors. This collaboration ensures full coverage of the innovation cycle, from research and development to commercialization, positioning both the country and Europe at the forefront of AI advancement
FORTO - Smart Self-Assessment of Muscle Fatigability is a new tool designed for self-testing muscle fatigability as an indicator of intrinsic capacity and resilience. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), sufficient intrinsic capacity is essential for healthy aging, encompassing the physical and mental resources individuals can draw upon. Current health systems primarily address symptoms or age-related issues like frailty only after they arise. FORTO seeks to shift this approach, offering a device that assesses an individual's ability to activate their physical reserves, providing an early warning system for reduced resilience and delayed recovery. The project involves end-users at all stages, including community-dwelling older adults, hospitalized patients, and clinicians.
Catch it at the following times on CNN Portugal: Saturday at 9:50 AM and Sunday at 4:27 PM
