  this goal an interdisciplinary team with expertise in areas such as weara
 ble technology for vital signs\, biomedical signal processing\, sensor net
 works and RF Location/Intelligent buildings was formed.\nDuring this talk\
 , other projects in which the MediaLab research group at the University of
  Porto is involved will be presented: CAGE - Computer Assisted Gastroenter
 ology Examination\; DigiScope - DIGItally enhanced stethosCOPEs for clinic
