Our Research Pillars
Our research is structured around five complementary axes that form a complete architecture. The Infrastructure IoT & Framework foundation supports three core pillars: UX Design, Analysis & AI, and Software Engineering. Everything is guided by our ultimate goal: Applications & Interventions that have a real impact on people’s lives.
The 5 Research Axes
Axis 1: Infrastructure IoT & Framework (The Foundation)
We build the robust foundations for ambient intelligence. This axis focuses on sensor networks, IoT platforms, frameworks, and Quality of Service (QoS) infrastructures to ensure reliable, secure, and large-scale deployments.

Axis 2: UX Design (Pillar 1)
We place the human at the center of technology. This axis focuses on user needs analysis, usability evaluation, and the design of intuitive and accessible interfaces. We use a co-creation approach to ensure our technologies meet everyone’s expectations and abilities.

Axis 3: Analysis & AI (Pillar 2)
We transform raw data into useful information. This axis covers user, environment, and behavior modeling. Using advanced algorithms, we specialize in activity recognition, behavioral change detection, and decision support.

Axis 4: Software Engineering (Pillar 3)
We develop software that is not only intelligent but also reliable and autonomous. This axis focuses on self-healing, security, autonomous networks, and rapid deployment. We also study the human factors in software engineering to improve developer productivity and well-being.

Axis 5: Applications & Interventions (The Ultimate Goal)
This is the culmination of our research. In this axis, we apply our technologies to address concrete societal challenges, particularly healthy aging. We create tailored interventions to help older adults maintain their autonomy and manage their health at home.
