Academic research explores eco-innovation and digital health technologies

Various academic research projects from Brazil and Portugal are addressing diverse technological and sustainability challenges.

In Brazil, research focuses on developing eco-innovation within startup platforms to implement sustainable practices in the carbon market for greenhouse gas mitigation.

In Portugal, studies from the University of Aveiro include the application of machine learning to optimize the production of optoelectronic transceivers for fiber optic networks in collaboration with PICadvanced. Other research explores digital health through the integration of ballistocardiographic sensors into smart toilets for non-invasive monitoring of heart and respiratory rates.

Additionally, studies examine consumer satisfaction in multi-channel services, focusing on reducing physical and emotional effort, and the design of modular furniture, such as the Agilab line, to support flexible and collaborative hybrid work environments.
