€9,000 in prizes for the best doctoral theses, Master’s Final Projects and Bachelor’s Final Projects related to the 2030 Agenda, Development Cooperation and Social Responsibility.
In recent weeks, the University of Vigo announced the winners of these awards, through which the institution recognizes the commitment of students who chose to focus their final projects on these topics. A total of 18 research projects reflect the efforts of students most engaged with sustainable development, each contributing their small grain of sand to the challenging task of building a fairer world.
In the doctoral thesis category, the jury awarded the highest possible score (100 points) to the research project Exploiting Routinely Generated Healthcare Data through Intelligent Systems to Improve Clinical Decision-Making for Cancer Survivors, carried out by Lorena González Castro and supervised by Martín López Nores, lecturer at the School of Telecommunications Engineering and researcher at atlanTTic.
Cancer is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Advances in early detection and treatment have significantly increased survival rates, but they have also created a new global challenge: ensuring comprehensive, personalized and sustainable care for the millions of people living with the physical, psychological and social consequences of the disease.
“This doctoral thesis addresses this challenge from a technological, healthcare and social perspective, exploring how clinical data routinely generated within healthcare systems can be transformed into a strategic tool to improve care for survivors,” explains the author, who has more than ten years of experience in research on AI- and data-based eHealth technologies.
“My involvement in the European Persit project, focused on developing a digital platform to support cancer survivors, provided the framework and defined the main line of research for my doctoral thesis,” explains the researcher, an expert in generative AI technologies, particularly in the design and development of virtual assistants.
