On February 28, 2025, I participated in the Employment Forum at the University of Valencia (Faculty of Psychology and Speech and Language Therapy) as a speech and language therapist, with a professional profile characterized by being a PhD student and a clinical speech and language therapist.
During the session, I had the opportunity to explain to the 4th-year Speech and Language Therapy students at the University of Valencia my academic journey at the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya, as well as the objectives of my research project. This open space allowed me to present the purpose of my research in an accessible way and highlight its importance within the field of speech and language therapy, both theoretically and practically.

In January 2025, I submitted two scientific contributions to the XI International AEAL Congress and III CHITEL Congress, which will be held in September 2025 in Seville. The scientific contributions are as follows:
- Poster presentation titled The role of multimodality in dynamic assessment of language in children with neurodevelopmental disorders: a scoping review. Available in OSF: http://osf.io/4v25q
- Oral presentation titled Multimodal perceptive assessment with multimodal sampling of narratives serves to identify language needs in children with neurodevelopmental disorders. Available in OSF: http://osf.io/wpztf
The evaluation and acceptance of both submissions will be published on April 1, 2025. If accepted, participating in this congress with these two research products will be a great opportunity to receive feedback from the scientific community, meet researchers in the field, and establish new horizons in the design of a dynamic language assessment tool.

Reflections from the Organizing Committee
Date: 19 February 2025
Location: Edifici de Recerca – UOC, Rambla del Poblenou, 154, Barcelona
As a member of the organizing committee, I had the incredible opportunity to help shape and participate in the mHealth BCN Conference 2025, organized by Fundación iSYS , with the colaboration of eHealth Center of Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC), the Sociedad Catalana de Medicina Familiar y Comunitaria (CAMFiC) and the Hospital Clínic de Barcelona, within the framework of BCN Health Innovation Week, led by Biocat and the BioRegion of Catalonia.
This year’s conference was a remarkable gathering of experts, innovators, and healthcare professionals, all committed to exploring the present and future of digital health. The discussions throughout the day highlighted key challenges and opportunities, focusing on:
- The role of digital health in enhancing well-being and quality of life.
- The importance of active aging and digital tools that support it.
- Bridging the digital literacy gap for both users and professionals, preparing for the present—not just the future.
- Developing user-centered applications, ensuring usability, utility, and long-term adherence.
- AI’s impact on digital health, its benefits, risks, and potential inequalities.
- The ethical and responsible use of health data, ensuring accessibility and fairness.
Reflections on the Future of Digital Health
Being part of the conference organization allowed me to see first-hand the complexity of digital health transformation. It is clear that for mHealth to be truly inclusive and effective, we need a multidisciplinary approach, one that embraces technological ethics, unbiased AI, and user-centric innovation.
Our mission goes beyond cost optimization; it is about empowering users and healthcare professionals, making digital health a tool for improving lives rather than a technological barrier.
While digital health has come a long way, we are still at the beginning of this journey. There is much work to be done, countless opportunities ahead, and an exciting evolution yet to unfold.
Grateful to have been part of this inspiring event and looking forward to the road ahead!

Name of the activity: VII Congreso de Alimentación, Nutrición y Dietética – I Congreso Internacional de la Academia Española de Nutrición y Dietética
Description of the activity:
I will be participating in a congress where I will present a communication related to my thesis. While the event will take place in the future, the work is already in progress this academic year: I have submitted a request to present a communication at the congress, along with an abstract on the topic.
In this presentation, I will outline the current state of research on the consumption of sugary beverages among school-aged adolescents, its patterns, and the influence of the food environment. I will also discuss the aspects I aim to investigate in my thesis, based on existing literature, and the potential findings I expect to explore through my research. However, I will not disclose any results from my own study, as they have yet to be validated by the institution overseeing the project.
Time frame in which I will follow: 15 y 16 de octubre de 2025
Institution (Including City and Country): La Academia Española de Nutrición y Dietética (AEND), Madrid, Spain

Looking Ahead
Date: 5 March 2025
Location: MWC Barcelona
I had the incredible opportunity to visit MWC Barcelona 2025 alongside Imma Grau-Corral. This visit was an inspiring experience, offering a firsthand look at the latest technological advancements shaping digital health, AI-driven personalization, and behavioral design.
One of the most exciting moments was stopping by the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC) stand, where I explored innovative research and projects that bridge academia and industry. Seeing how digital education and mHealth are evolving through AI, gamification, and data-driven interventions reaffirmed my passion for advancing healthcare through technology.
A huge thank you to the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya team for their dedication and inspiring work!
I look forward to future collaborations between Fundación iSYS, UOC, and Doctorats Industrials.
Let’s see if next year we get the opportunity to present our project on gamified AI-powered health interventions!
