Research Grant (BI)

  • Refª BI|2025/705-Project PICASSO - refª 2024.07300.IACDC

    Type of position: Research Grant (BI)
    Duration: 6 months
    Deadline to apply: 2025-05-29
    Description

    ONE (1) research grant for students with MSc degree with reference number BI|2025/705 under the scope of the Project PiCaSSo - Sistema de Apoio aos Cuidados Paliativos Pediátricos – refª 2024.07300.IACDC/202, funded by Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia, is available under the following conditions:

    OBJECTIVES | FUNCTIONS 

    The main goal is to participate in the development of a platform for registering data about children with complex chronic diseases who need Palliative Pediatric Care (PPC), to be used by doctors from several hospitals in Portugal through a secure and understandable user interface that enables the real characterization of each group of patients. The platform follows a client-server architecture, where the server implements the application software layer as well as the connection to a relational database that stores the Clinical Data Registry (CDR), and the client implements the Graphical User Interface layer. In particular, the following tasks will be developed:

    server implementation: Develop the server-side logic of our integrated digital platform, encompassing application logic for data input, search, update, and analysis within the PPC CDR; GUI design and development: design and implement a user-friendly and functional GUI for the platform; install a pilot version of the integrated digital platform at Hospital Santa Maria; conduct a proof-of- concept test with real users; and evaluate the pilot version and incorporate improvements based on the feedback obtained from users.

    Type of position: Research Grant (BI)
    Duration: 6 months
    Deadline to apply: 2025-05-28
    Description

    ONE (1) research grant for students with Master degree with reference number BI|2025/709 under the scope of the Project SHELL – Refª LISBOA2030-FEDER-00748300 funded by Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia, is available under the following conditions:

    OBJECTIVES | FUNCTIONS 

    Cloud computing is currently in an impasse. While hardware efficiency is improving at an exponentially lower rate, the demand for elastic and scalable cloud resources keeps growing, as evidenced by the emergence of popular cloud computing models such as Serverless. Since this demand cannot be met with existing virtualization technology, we propose Shell, a new virtualized runtime environment that has the potential to unlock the new cloud era.

  • BI|2025/704 - Project WELL - refª2024.07494.IACDC

    Type of position: Research Grant (BI)
    Duration: 4 months
    Deadline to apply: 2025-05-23
    Description

    ONE (1) research grant for students with BSc degree with reference number BI|2025/704 under the scope of the Project WELL-Wallet for ELectronic heaLth records – refª2024.07494.IACDC, funded by Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia, is available under the following conditions:

    OBJECTIVES | FUNCTIONS 

    This project will entail developing a secure cloud-of-clouds storage platform for Electronic Health Records (EHRs), which will then be integrated with a public blockchain to ensure data integrity and immutability. Simultaneously, a front-end will be designed and built for the MedPlum EHR application, facilitating seamless access and management of EHRs stored within the secure cloud-of-clouds platform and leveraging the blockchain's capabilities. Key activities will include defining a robust access control mechanism, designing smart contracts for data validation and sharing, and establishing secure API connections between the cloud storage, blockchain, and MedPlum application, all while prioritizing data security and compliance with relevant healthcare regulations

  • Refª BI|2025/702 - Project WELL - refª2024.07494.IACDC

    Type of position: Research Grant (BI)
    Duration: 4 months
    Deadline to apply: 2025-05-23
    Description

    ONE (1) research grant for students with BSc degree with reference number BI|2025/702 under the scope of the Project WELL-Wallet for ELectronic heaLth records – refª2024.07494.IACDC, funded by Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia, is available under the following conditions:

    OBJECTIVES | FUNCTIONS 

    The project will focus on establishing the foundational elements of the system. This includes designing and developing the secure protocol for creating, reading, and sharing Electronic Health Records (EHRs). Parallel to this, the development of the Android blockchain Wallet will commence, with an emphasis on secure key management and transaction processing. Simultaneously, work on the front-end for the MedPlum Electronic Medical Records platform will begin, focusing on user interface design and integration with the secure protocol. Key tasks include defining API endpoints for EHR access and management, establishing rigorous security testing protocols, and developing comprehensive documentation for both developers and end-users. We also need to define the data structures for EHRs and anonymized data to ensure interoperability. 

     

    Key tasks include developing automated testing suites, conducting user acceptance testing, and preparing deployment packages for both the Android application and the MedPlum platform.  We'll also define a clear process for data migration and ongoing maintenance. A significant component will be ensuring compliance with relevant healthcare regulations and data privacy standards. Finally, documentation updates and user training materials will be finalized before launch.
