As part of the collaboration agreement between the Biomechanics
and Ergonomics group and FISABIO for the adaptation and design of
products for rehabilitation, on Thursday, November 30th, several
researchers involved in the agreement visited the Hospital de la
Madalena to deliver some of the manufactured designs and plan for
the next steps.

On November 24, Vicente Bayarri Porcar presented his doctoral
thesis titled "Evaluation of assistive devices for manipulation in
activities of daily living incorporating the analysis of affective
design through Eye-Tracking", obtaining the rating of Excellent Cum
Laude. The members of the tribunal were: Marina Puyuelo (UPV),
Manolo Contero (UPV) and Pedro Company (UJI).

On November 2nd and 3rd, the 12th Meeting of the Spanish Chapter
of the ESB was held in Malaga. Margarita Vergara, Ximo Sancho, and
Néstor Jarque presented three communications from the group on the
work they are conducting in various areas: virtual reality games for
rehabilitation, assessment of hand exoskeletons, and the design of
prosthetic sockets.

From October 4-6, 2023, Verónica Gracia attended as an invited
speaker the 'Interdisciplinary Hand
Symposium' held at the 'Max Planck Institute for the Science of
Light' in Erlangen and organized by (CRC)
1483 - EmpkinS (Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nüremberg).
The symposium discussed current
research in inflammatory arthritis, hand surgery and therapy,
biomechanical modeling and simulation, as well
as visualization and sensing of the hand.

Imma Llop, Alba Roda, Vicent Bayarri and Daniel Cardín
participated in Science GTS, a scientific outreach event that brings
science closer to society through workshops, talks, and other
activities. The event took place at the Universitat Jaume I, and the
Biomechanics and Ergonomics Group prepared workshops on Eye
Tracking, collaborative robotics, and manual dexterity measurement
with virtual reality. Additionally, they took part in meetings with
associations, exchanging experiences with the ACUDIM association
from Vila-Real, which works towards the full integration of
individuals with various disabilities into society.

On September 28 and 29, the first Conference on Biomedical 3D
Printing was held at the Higher School of Technology and
Experimental Sciences (ESTCE) of the Universitat Jaume I. 3D printed
medical models facilitate pre-surgical planning, serve during
surgery to improve the precision of the surgical technique, and are
also an excellent communication tool.
The Conference, organized by professors Javier Andrés and José
Feliciano, from the Biomechanics and Ergonomics group of the UJI
(BE-UJI), had the advice of the biomedical engineering consultancy
DQbito. These conferences are born from the recent collaboration (FISABIO)
between the Abdomino-Pelvic Oncology Surgery Reference Unit (UR-COAP)
of the General University Hospital of Castellón, the Biomechanics
and Ergonomics group (BE-UJI) and the Institute of Advanced
Materials (INAM-UJI) from the Universitat Jaume I. More information:

The UJI, the Hospital General Universitario de Castellón and
Fisabio Foundation patent a uterine manipulator that improves
gynaecological surgery, in a research leaded by Javier Andrés.
