The International Conference on Smart Mobility (IEEESM), with the theme "Enabling AI-Powered Seamless and Sustainable Mobility for All", is taking place in Dubai, on April 1-3, 2026.
IEEE SM is designated for reporting recent research, development, and deployment results in smart mobility systems and services, their challenging problems, and their potential applications.
IEEESM is where academics, technologists, OEMs, mobility service providers, city planners, and policy makers can network, learn, and collaborate with each other.
The program of the conference features Smart mobility, which is one of the main pillars that characterizes smart cities and maintains their sustainability as a way to deal with continuously growing world urbanization and its expected impacts on public health, congestion, and accelerated global climate change.
The widespread deployment and the societal acceptance of smart mobility technologies will depend not only on the maturity of the technology but also on the availability of a well-developed governance framework and the proper city planning to accommodate these evolving technologies. This means that smart mobility depends on a triad of complementary factors: keynote and invited speeches from top thought-leaders and pioneers in the area of smart mobility, panel discussions, fully refereed papers, workshops, tutorials, industry sessions, Women in Mobility (WIM) Symposium and Triple Helix Exhibition.

The Department of Electromechanical Engineering (DEM) at the University of Beira Interior (UBI) will host Hugo Plácido da Silva for the lecture "Invisibles: A New Frontier in Biomedical Signal Acquisition and Processing" on December 16th, focusing on emerging frontiers in biomedical engineering and pervasive health technologies.
The session will take place at 11 AM in the DEM Meeting Room (UBI), with simultaneous remote transmission to ensure broader participation.
Abstract:
An important part of clinical triage methods continues to be mostly bound to hospital and momentary data acquisition settings. Still, a paradigm shift is emerging, in which everyday technology is increasingly capable of measuring relevant biomedical signals in a more pervasive manner. This is paving the way for systems that can better analyse and adapt to perceived changes in the health status or behavior of the user. In this lecture, we will characterise the current landscape of data acquisition and signal processing methods, describe state-of-the-art work developed towards what has been coined as the ”invisibles” approach, and provide a discussion of the main challenges posed by these new methodologies. Experimental results show that data acquired using such an approach is highly correlated with data obtained through conventional methods. This lecture will show real-world examples of devices integrated into everyday use objects with which users regularly interact.
Short Bio:
Hugo Plácido da Silva is an Award-winning inventor, researcher, and entrepreneur, co-founder of multiple innovative technology-based companies operating in the field of medical devices and data science for health; PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering with habilitation in Biomedical Engineering, both from the Instituto Superior Técnico (IST) - University of Lisbon (UL). He is also coordinator of the “Information and Data Science” thematic line and Senior Researcher at the Instituto de Telecomunicações since 2004, and invited Professor at the Bioengineering Department of IST since 2019.
