Recent studies have shown that by the application of technology can reduce the number of hospital stays, on average, a 15%. This data shows the necessity of the application of health technologies in order to achieve a more sustainable healthcare system and saving up costs.

Population aging makes investment in health technologies offer a promising future in prevention and treatment of diseases, apart from automatizing management tasks such as pathology prevention, as well as allowing tracking patients without the necessity of them going to the hospital.

Personalized or precision medicine developing new chemical and biological entities is a must in this area. Likewise, it will become more necessary to have sanitary products and technologies which allow early diagnostic, forecast and treatment of diseases, including advanced therapies such as immunotherapy or gene therapy.

This field introduces main sectors such as biomedicine, bioelectronics, biomechanics and bioinformatics for the development of products and components, sensory systems for the analysis and measurement of biomedical and biomechanical parameters, mechatronic systems of action and analysis and development of custom algorithms for problem solving. Miniaturised systems, for application throughout the healthcare life cycle.

ITCL works in the following technologies:

• Big Data Architectures
• Customized electronic systems for experimentation
• Bioelectronics
• Bioinformatics
• Biosensors
