André Lourenço, CEO of CardioID, was invited to speak in the Human-AI Talks series hosted at NOVA SBE/NOVA Medical School, where he explored the evolution of biometric sensing from wearable devices to invisible, seamlessly integrated health-monitoring systems. In that forum, he discussed how advances in AI, generative models, sensor miniaturization and data privacy are shaping future paradigms in digital health, and he addressed the challenges of trust, security and interpretability in deploying AI for real-world biometric applications.
Shortly thereafter, at the Ciência 2025 conference also at NOVA SBE, CardioID contributed to the session “Smart textiles as medical wearable devices: from fundamentals to AI-based insights,” which examined how functional materials can integrate electronics and sensing to become part of everyday objects, and how CardioID is exploring the intersection of materials science, wearable health tech and AI-driven sensing. This session was moderated by Vítor Sencadas from CICECO.
Through these engagements, CardioID not only raises its profile in academic and innovation ecosystems, but also fosters dialogue across disciplines — from materials engineering to AI and biomedical sensing — reinforcing the company’s role as a thought leader in the emergent space of invisible health technologies.
