Wed, 23 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Overview

This project has been awarded by Fundación ASISA as part of their first call for research and social action support. The research focuses on developing an AI-powered clinical decision support tool that leverages video analytics and computer vision techniques to enable early detection of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH).

Research Objectives

Develop computer vision algorithms for gait and mobility analysis in elderly patients
Create machine learning models for early detection of iNPH biomarkers
Build a clinical decision support system for neurology departments
Validate the system in clinical settings with real patient data

Technical Approach

The project combines expertise in:

Video-based human pose estimation
Gait analysis and movement pattern recognition
Deep learning for biomedical applications
Clinical workflow integration

We are pleased to announce that Unai Elordi, researcher affiliated with the Computer Vision and Pattern Discovery (CVPD) group, has been selected as one of the five winners of the first Fundación ASISA Research Awards in the health research category.

The award recognizes his project on the development of a clinical decision support system for the early detection of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) using video analytics and artificial intelligence.

🎯 Project overview

The awarded research focuses on creating an AI-powered clinical decision support tool that leverages video analytics and computer vision techniques to enable early detection of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus, a neurological condition that affects gait and mobility in elderly patients.

This work aligns with the CVPD group’s research lines in:

Computer vision and gait analysis
Machine learning and deep learning for biomedical applications
Clinical decision support systems
Video-based human pose estimation and movement analysis

💰 Award details

Fundación ASISA has granted this award as part of its first call for research and social action support, with a total investment of 60,000 euros distributed across ten projects (five in health research and five in social initiatives).

Each selected project receives a grant of 6,000 euros to support the research work. The foundation has announced that this program will continue with a new edition in 2027.

📋 Other awarded research projects

In the research category, the other four selected projects were:

Macarena Espinilla: Application of AI for early detection of clinical and cognitive deterioration in university settings
Óscar Rapado: Development of an epigenetic signature in liquid biopsy for stratifying the risk of occult lymph node metastases in oral cancer
