Ana was graduated in Electrical and Computer Engineering (Instituto Superior Técnico, University of Lisbon), 1999, is MSc. in Health Engineering (Portuguese Catholic University), 2017, and PhD in Biomedical Sciences/Neurosciences (Faculty of Medicine, University of Lisbon), 2016. She lectured Assistive Technologies, Machine Learning and Computer Programming courses in Portuguese Universities and has been involved in many national and international R&D projects and multidisciplinary teams. She is an integrated researcher in Comprehensive Health Research Center, in NOVA Medical School. She has experience in closely working in I&D activities with both companies and academia in the development of eHealth-related systems and devices. From her solid engineering background, the PhD research studies in a faculty of medicine gave her important skills to enable her to apply innovative technology to further enhance the healthcare digital transformation and promote health and social-related quality of life. She prioritises collaborative and multidisciplinary networks, by validating tools and methods in real-world pilots/studies, with the full engagement of practitioners, patients and, in a broader approach, citizens. She has co-authored research publications with more than 50 national and international researchers. Her interest in assistive technologies and devices, and its application to neurodegenerative conditions, gave her solid experience in validating engineering research for health applications with clinical research methodologies She is very interested in developing interdisciplinary research methodologies to develop collaborative research between engineering and healthcare teams, with a user-centred approach. In 2018, she had co-leadership with NOVA University of Lisbon, in designing a collaborative laboratory that was approved and certified by Portuguese National Funding Agency for Science, Research and Technology (FCT). She is now the executive and scientific director of the Value for Health CoLAB, where she is developing interdisciplinary research in eHealth and Value-based healthcare, in close collaboration with NOVA research units from different faculties (medical, social sciences, technology and management), Fraunhofer Portugal, José de Mello Saúde and Vodafone companies.
