We invite you to attend lectures by Dr. Raquel Bailon, Professor at the University of Zaragoza (Spanish: Universidad de Zaragoza)!
Date: May 8, 2026
Time: 10:00 AM–12:00 PM
Venue: KTU Santaka Valley, Room A225, K. Barsausko str. 59, Kaunas
The lectures will be delivered in English.
In the field of Biomedical Engineering, the path from raw data to clinical impact is rarely a straight line.
This lecture begins by exploring the research ecosystem of the University of Zaragoza, specifically within the Aragon Institute of Engineering Research (I3A) and the Aragon Institute for Health Research (IIS Aragon). The speaker will present the Biomedical Signal Interpretation and Computational Simulation (BSICoS) research group, of which she is a member, and will walk through her personal journey—highlighting key projects in the field, as well as hard-won lessons and practical recommendations for navigating a career in Biomedical Engineering research.
Moving beyond the controlled environment of the laboratory, the future of healthcare lies in continuous, ambulatory monitoring. However, translating physiological signals into clinical insights in „hostile” real-world settings presents significant challenges due to noise and non-stationarity.
This lecture explores advanced metrics for Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) analysis, emphasizing a multi-modal approach that integrates Heart Rate Variability (HRV) with other physiological signals, such as respiration among others. We will discuss robust signal processing techniques designed to handle the artifacts of daily life and the limitations of wearable technology. Finally, we will examine how these „decoded” signals are being applied to monitor stress and mental health, and provide new screening tools for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).
Prof. Raquel Bailon is a Professor at the University of Zaragoza (Spain), specializing in non-invasive monitoring of the autonomic nervous system, heart rate variability analysis, and digital health solutions.
The researcher has extensive international experience, has led research projects, and is currently coordinating the Master’s programme in Biomedical Engineering.
