On December 12th, the Faculty of Biotechnology (ESB) at Universidade Católica Portuguesa hosted a showcase of projects developed by second-year Master’s students in Biomedical Engineering, as part of the Instrumentation course. Under the theme "Innovation in Action – Electronics and Instrumentation as Tools for Transforming Ideas into Solutions," the event highlighted the creativity, dedication, and technical expertise of the future biomedical engineers.

The session featured six innovative projects, demonstrating practical applications of measurement, sensors, and instrumentation concepts—fundamental pillars of Biomedical Engineering. The projects addressed current challenges such as air quality monitoring, automated goods collection systems, fall detection, and the development of games to improve focus in children with ADHD.

Pedro Rodrigues, Assistant Professor and Deputy Director of ESB, emphasized the importance of this initiative: “The presentation of these projects reflects ESB’s commitment to training professionals with technical and creative skills, ready to tackle the technological challenges of the future. These works demonstrate how the practical application of acquired knowledge can result in innovative solutions with a positive impact on society.”

The project showcase was attended by faculty, students, and members of the academic community, who had the opportunity to witness the excellence and innovation that define ESB’s academic training. This event reinforces the importance of integrating practical projects into academic curricula, equipping students to address real-world challenges in engineering and technology for health advancement.
