The Biosensors for Bioengineering group led by Dr. Javier Ramón at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) is looking for a Posdoctoral Researcher in order to work in the project BENCHTOP NMR FOR LAB-ON-CHIP (BLOC), FET open. This position will be funded by H2020 European Union programme
The Biomedical signal processing and interpretation group at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) has developed a portable, cheap and non-invasive system to detect obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) at home, a disorder characterized by recurrent airflow cessation during sleep. Researchers propose a novel method consisting of analyzing acoustic signals recorded with a smartphone.Sleeping, like breathing, is an action that we all undertake throughout our whole lives. Sleep, which represents more than 25% of our time, is the body’s natural state of rest and an important factor of self-regulation. However, several diseases can affect sleep quality, leading to symptoms of varying severity.
El grupo de Procesamiento e interpretación de señales biomédicas del Instituto de Bioingeniería de Cataluña (IBEC) ha desarrollado un sistema que permitiría diagnosticar de manera económica, fiable y no invasiva la apnea obstructiva del sueño (AOS), un trastorno del sueño que se caracteriza por el cese recurrente del flujo de aire durante el sueño. Los investigadores proponen un novedoso método consistente en el análisis de señales acústicas registradas con un teléfono inteligente. Dormir, igual que respirar, es una acción que realizamos a lo largo de nuestras vidas. El sueño, que representa más del 25 % de nuestro tiempo, es el estado natural de descanso del cuerpo y constituye un factor importante para su autorregulación. Sin embargo, existen varias enfermedades que afectan a la calidad del sueño y que pueden producir síntomas de distinta gravedad.
