About
Development of innovative, science-based technologies and services aimed at improving well-being and healthcare delivery.
Challenges
We address four major challenges:
1) Active and healthy ageing, ensuring that increased life expectancy is accompanied by improved quality of life;
2) Personalised medicine and biomarkers, using technology to enable timely and differentiated diagnoses tailored to each individual’s needs and genotypic characteristics;
3) Pharmacology, medicines, and advanced therapies, driven largely by new knowledge in genetics, bioinformatics, and systems medicine;
4) Digital health and medical technologies, which play a key role in hospital support and are particularly relevant in emerging areas such as disease prevention and improving patients’ medical literacy, with a view to enabling future self-management of health.
Value Proposition
We follow a market-pull R&D approach, targeting all actors and processes along the value chain in the health and well-being sectors. Our commitment extends to collaborating with a wide range of stakeholders in the healthcare industry to ensure the widespread adoption and impact of our solutions. In this context, we aim to explore activities within the sector where technological needs and strategic roadmaps indicate high potential for applying INESC TEC’s expertise. We contribute to addressing health challenges through our experience and knowledge in R&D and consultancy projects, enabling us to cover a wide variety of diseases and health conditions.
Areas
Healthcare Services
We develop intelligent systems for clinical decision support and hospital management, optimising workflows and improving healthcare delivery.
Digital Health Providers
We create secure and interoperable digital solutions for remote patient monitoring and real-time integration of health data.
Pharma
We collaborate with the pharmaceutical industry in the development of advanced tools for clinical data analysis and the prediction of therapeutic efficacy.
Wellbeing and Sports
We apply sensor technologies and artificial intelligence to support well-being monitoring and enhance sports performance.
Competences
Artificial intelligence, signal processing, and medical imaging
Biomedical instrumentation
Medical robotics
Software engineering and data science
Partners
We carry out socially relevant research activities with our associates. We have excellent partnerships with multidisciplinary teams
Services
We foster synergies between INESC TEC and its partners, so that INESC TEC – through its expertise – can contribute to the development of activities that result in:
- Innovation and development projects
- Consultancy and testing services
- Long-term Framework Agreements
- Training and capacity building
- Technology transfer and entrepreneurship
Technologies
BCCT.core
BCCT.core (Breast Cancer Conservation Treatment. cosmetic results) software tries to simplify and standardize the aesthetic evaluation of BCCT.
Vital Sticker
The Vital Sticker technology features an innovative rotational connection between the device and the electrode, which minimizes signal noise induced by movement, significantly improving the signal-to-noise ratio of the acquired signal.
Beat Stress
Beat Stress enables the identification of necessary parameters in just one or a few heartbeats (ECG signal) and reduces the volume of data collected and processed. These two features make Beat Stress an ideal technology for integration into a wearable device and real-time usage, in line with the growing trend of healthcare wearables.
Testimonials
INESC TEC’s researchers have a very close link to the business world, thus being able to conciliate state-of-the-art research with the short-term needs of companies. There clearly is a practical sense in what they do. I believe this is one the main advantages of INESC TEC.
Paulo Sousa
Maxdata Software, S.A.
Excellent! Not only for the Institute’s understanding of the nature of the health-related problems we face, but also due to the ability to organise a kind of common intelligence in the design of solutions to health research problems.
Henrique Barros
ISPUP
We value INESC TEC’s know-how, computation tools and digital technologies – which, combined with our biosensing experience, will generate synergies towards the development of advanced analytical tools for different clinical applications and healthcare actions.

Being part of the TexBoost mobilising project was a fruitful experience that favoured the exchange of technical knowledge between different entities, like INESC TEC, research centres like CITEVE, and companies such as PLUX e PR Têxteis.
Pedro Duque
PLUX Wireless Biosignals
The experience is excellent. We are a real team, one that is not inactive, but one that builds synergies.
Maria João Cardoso
Champalimaud Clinical Center
The partnership with INESC TEC was vital to develop a high-quality computer system to support the phone services, considering the country’s context, the technical challenges and the needs identified.?

INESC TEC was, from the outset, a key player in the establishment of LABIOMEP-UP, immediately associating itself with the set of units and interface institutes that supported its creation.
João Paulo Vilas-Boas
LABIOMEP – UP e FADEUP
The work was always developed with Adapttech and CTM (INESC TEC) working together throughout the process, rather than each entity working by itself. Both parties were always very transparent during the process and tried to keep the expectations aligned.
