Collaboration with University Hospitals HUVM (Sevilla), HCSC (Madrid), NSCT (Tenerife) and HUDN (Gran Canaria), has led to the clinical transfer of the e-Nefro platform to the respective Units of Ne- phrology . E-Nefro is a research project (AES, call 2011), aimed at the research of an e-health platform for renal patients . The surveys prepared to assess the usability and accessibility of end-users have been requested to be used by different professionals belonging to other hospitals .
The data distribution service (DDS) specification has been proposed for the alarm management system of e-health platforms . The study has been applied to the case of use of the e-Nefro platform, demons- trating the potential of DDS as a communication infrastructure for the personalization and prioritization of alarms and the optimal delivery of information .
Knowledge has been disclosed about galvanic coupling intrabody communication (IBC) transmission mechanisms by using a realistic model of the human arm . This approach has provided an insight into signal transmission paths through the human body, showing them to be considerably dependent on variables such as frequency and inter-electrode distance .
Regarding multiscale modeling, a computational model of the human cardiovascular system has been proposed as a training tool for medicine students .
On-going collaboration with the Respiratory Unit at HUVR (Seville) has led to two grants (Neumosur and Health Council, Government of Andalucía) .
With regard to smart devices, a national patent has been submitted on a Bioimpedance measurement system, with different companies interested on its exploitation .
Two workshops have been organized: “TAOEI Day”, with AIRBUS DS to seek for common areas of interest, and “Double-Use Technologies”, with the participation of AIRBUS DS and Academia General del Aire San Javier .
In the context of staff training, a PhD Thesis has been concluded and presented (David Naranjo Hernán- dez), and several Master Thesis and Degree Thesis have been graded .
