Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technologies
This line of research includes the development of technologies for rehabilitation and / or support to people with physical, visual, hearing, mental, etc. derived from various injuries or diseases, as well as to support the elderly population. Search is thus the research and development of new devices and techniques for this audience in order to improve their quality of life and reintegration into society.

Of course, as occurs in studies in Biomedical Engineering, this line works seamlessly with other lines of the program. Thus, for example, in research the line of "Computer Systems and Applied Devices Health" can act as support for the developments in the line of "Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technologies" through models and methods for understanding and analysis of the movement, analysis of biomedical signals, human-computer interaction, mechanical simulation of members and physiological structures, among others.
