Multiscale modeling for multimodal diagnosis: collaboration with the Biochemistry De-
Highlights
partment/ Infectious Diseases Unit at UHVM led to a joint publication (under review),
another journal paper in preparation and two papers at international conferences. The

PERSONA grant (CIBER-BBN) led to a paper at the Spanish Diabetes Society and an in-
ternational journal (under preparation). Collaboration with Dr. Álvarez (Cardiology Unit,

UHVR) includes two journal publications (accepted 2014) and two conference papers.
Collaboration with the Nephrology Unit at UHVM led to three published chapters targeted

to clinicians.
Regarding the integration architectures for health and social services, advances in virtual

organizations and security issues of HISA-compliant architectures, and management of
alarms with the DDS standard, led to two JCR papers (one under review) and four inter-

national conferences. Results are being transferred to the architecture of health informa-
tion systems for ongoing projects. Research on E-NEFRO system architecture has already

been transferred to UHVM for clinical validation, and has led to a paper in JCR journal.

With regard to smart devices for AAL, collaboration has been established with the Res-
piratory Unit at HUVR, and is being formalized through three grants (two funded by

Neumosur and one at regional level). Results are being collected for preparation of two
journal papers. Two papers are in review process covering related topics and two papers

presented in international conferences. Two national patents have been submitted.
Regarding bioelectromagnetism, two JCR papers addressed the modeling of intrabody 13
20
communications systems, with other two in preparation. Ongoing research in modeling T
skin wound healing from a bioelectric perspective has led to an international conference OR
P
paper and is being redirected to regenerative medicine, with an international joint colla- RE
boration planned.

diterranean Conference for Medical and Biological Engineering and Computing (MEDICON BE
2013), held in Seville from 25th to 28th September, 2013. The event counted on over CI
