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!

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!

Insights from the training course: “Advanced Bibliographic Management for Research (Zotero 7)”

Date: 6 February (my birthday!) 2025

Location: Online

During the “Advanced Bibliographic Management for Research” workshop by Joaquín Espín Sánchez, I had the opportunity to deepen my knowledge of Zotero 7 and its advanced features for organizing and managing research references.

The session provided practical resources and guides, such as a step-by-step PDF on Zotero functionalities and links to integrating Zotero with AI-enhanced literature discovery tools. This training highlighted how AI can streamline literature reviews, making research more efficient, structured, and insightful.

Place: Online session. Organized by the Research Ethics Committee (CER).

I attended the Ethics, Integrity, and Data Protection workshop organized by the Research Ethics Committee (CER) of the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC). The session provided valuable insights into the ethical responsibilities of researchers, especially in the context of doctoral research and data management.

Key topics covered included:

  • Research integrity – Ensuring transparency, honesty, and accountability in academic work.
  • Data protection and GDPR compliance – Understanding the legal and ethical requirements for handling sensitive data.
  • Informed consent and participant rights – Best practices for ensuring ethical approval and responsible data collection.
  • Ethical challenges in digital health research – Addressing bias, privacy concerns, and responsible AI implementation.

This workshop was particularly relevant to my thesis in ensuring the ethical integrity on personalized digital health solutions for breast cancer patients.
