Biometrics

In the field of security technologies, from secure access to electronic devices and bank accounts to personnel time attendance systems and access control to restricted areas, one of the fundamental challenges is the need to securely authenticate the identity of individuals. Currently, systems based on measuring biological characteristics, intrinsic to the person themselves and therefore difficult to transfer or steal, are becoming popular. For example, facial features, fingerprints, iris patterns, retinal scans, earlobe geometry, gait analysis, among many others. These techniques are known as biometrics and they provide credentials that do not depend on the end user to maintain their security.

Face detection and recognition system for identity identification and verification. Applications in video surveillance, digital onboarding, automatic entry/exit registration, among others.

Human-centered technologies

Assistive and rehabilitation systems

Serious games are computer games designed for various purposes such as education, personnel training, healthcare, among others. These systems provide new forms of interaction by immersing the player in a virtual world through their body movements, achieving their purpose in a playful manner. In the field of clinical medicine, various studies have shown positive effects of using these devices in patients with different motor difficulties. The range of applications is wide, from promoting physical activity in children, youth, and adults to the rehabilitation of neurological patients.

Exergames-based systems for the assessment, monitoring, and management of motor rehabilitation and physical capabilities evaluation. Implementations using embedded systems, depth cameras, and balance platforms, with routines designed by specialists.

COVID-19

Social distancing monitoring

To halt or slow down the spread of a contagious disease that is transmitted from person to person, such as COVID-19, social distancing is implemented. This refers to the physical distancing between individuals and aims to prevent contact between infected and non-infected people, so that the disease cannot spread through respiratory droplets expelled while sneezing or talking. Some considerations that are useful for its implementation include: maintaining a distance of 1.5 meters between individuals; avoiding crowds and mass gatherings when it is difficult to maintain the aforementioned distance; avoiding meetings in enclosed spaces; refraining from direct contact such as shaking hands, hugging, or kissing other people; not sharing mate, tableware, and utensils; avoiding public transportation, among others.

Monitoring system for people in indoor or outdoor environments, identification of individuals, and verification of compliance with social distancing.

COVID-19

Face mask usage monitoring

Among the measures implemented to stop or slow down the spread of a contagious disease transmitted from person to person, such as COVID-19, the use of face masks or coverings is implemented. It has been globally established that wearing a face mask is mandatory when a person is outside their own home, except for those who are exempt for medical reasons. Face masks should be worn by individuals using public transportation, private transportation with two or more people, and in enclosed public spaces, among others.

Monitoring system aimed at detecting compliance or non-compliance with the mandatory use of face masks in specific interaction environments.
