Dr. Patricia Abril-Jimenez holds an M.Sc. in Telecommunication Engineering and a PhD. in Bioengineering from the Telecommunication Engineering Faculty at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid. She started her professional career at LifeSTech in 2008 as a research assistant and later became a researcher in ICT applied to the social and healthcare sector until 2013. After a 3-year period working for robotics-related private companies, she joined the group again in 2016 as a senior researcher, where she has worked on new technology applications for active and healthy aging (AHA) strategies, including the early detection of aging-related functional decline symptoms. Her areas of expertise include personal health systems, human–computer interaction, user-centred design, intelligent interfaces, user experience, the usability and evaluation of ICT-based systems, mobile app design, ambient intelligence, and AAL. She has collaborated on several R&D projects that deal with information and communication technologies (ICT), robotics, and the IoT applied to the social and healthcare sector. She is the author of several articles published in national and international technical journals.
