  • Towards the Development of IoT Management in Human-in-the-Loop and Artificial Intelligence Systems

September 11, 2024
3:00-5:00 pm Beijing Time, 10:00-12:00 Kyiv summertime

This program presents and analyzes an innovative system to management Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) platforms based on Human-in-the-Loop paradigms. Our solution was implemented and validated in a testbed that was also built to the monitorization of the surroundings of students in favor of improving their academic performances by using a Human-in-the-Loop AI systems. Therefore, the system is composed by a lot of different sensors that are incorporated in different physical devices. With this in mind, this program will also explore the concept of management of an IoT network of these heterogeneous devices and evaluate the path to follow, considering the components that already existed in the system.

  • Training for Volunteer Mental Health Promotion Agents at Work

3:00-5:00 pm Beijing Time, 10:00-12:00 Kyiv summertime

Governments and institutions are promoting research on suicide prevention. In order to achieve this goal, our team considers it essential to promote mental health in all areas (work, school, associations, media, etc.). The workplace, in which we invest much of our time and energy, is an ideal place to train volunteers to take action and recognize signs of mental health problems, as well as to provide support and refer employees to health services.

This program includes the following topics: Health, mental health and health at work; Facts about the problem of suicide, background and recognizable signs; Responsibility of each person to be aware of mental health first aid; Training for Health at Work volunteers; and How to measure effectiveness and replicate the experience in other settings.

The PROSAM (Promotion of Mental Health) research team is made up of researchers in psychopathology, medicine, education, information and communication technologies (ICTs) applied to health.

Dr. Santiago Gascón, Program Leader, Dr. Guillermo Palacios, Dr. Anabel Marqués, Dr. Adrián Alacreu, Yago Pérez-Montesinos and Natalia Gascón from the University of Zaragoza.  Dr. Santiago Gascón holds a degree in Psychology and a PhD in Legal and Forensic Medicine from the University of Zaragoza. He is a Professor in the Department of Psychology and Sociology at the University of Zaragoza and teaches the subjects Psychopathology (Degree in Psychology), Deontology (Master in General Health Psychology) and Communication and Improvement Techniques (Master in Occupational Risk Prevention). He is principal investigator of the PROSAM Project (Promotion of Mental Health, funded by the Government of Aragon) and has won the National Research Award of the “Lafourcade-Ponce Foundation” for his work on the detection of aggressive attitudes precursors of school bullying.He is the author of numerous publications: books, articles, papers and communications to international congresses on violence in the work and educational environments, burnout process in employees, as well as adaptation by means of a paediatric exoskeleton in children with cerebral palsy. He has supervised nine doctoral theses and is the director of another three theses in progress on these fields of study. He has carried out research stays at Harvard University (US), University of Lisbon (Portugal), University of Milan (Italy), and University of Guadalajara-Health Sciencies (Mexico) and has conducted seminars and scientific conferences on psychosocial factors in the work and educational environment.
