Dynamic Systems and Applications for Solving Problems of Various Kinds
Solutions and qualitative descriptions that make it possible to analyse, measure, estimate and predict the behaviour of dynamic systems with their different temporal and spatial variables and, consequently, the phenomenon in question, whether economic, ecological, health-related or social.
TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTION
The knowledge available for transfer is the result of computational methods applied to specific problems. These problems must be modelled using equations describing temporal evolution (in discrete or continuous time) and solved numerically. Applications range from problems involving population censuses and abrupt declines in population growth, determining their causes and consequences, to changes in market demand influenced by temporary circumstances or changes in customer habits.
TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS
Modelling using dynamic systems offers strategic solutions across multiple sectors:
- Healthcare: Risk management in patients and optimisation of biomedical devices (e.g. catheters and drainage systems).
- Environment and Ecology: Modelling the relationship between forest growth and climatic variables (precipitation, temperature) for sustainable forest management.
- Economics and Markets: Predicting changes in demand based on customer behaviour and external temporal factors.
- Telecommunications (ICT): Controlling data traffic congestion and optimising routing algorithms.
- Demographics: Analysis of population censuses and identification of the causes of declining population growth.
ADVANTAGES AND INNOVATIVE ASPECTS
These applications derive from the results of our research group and are therefore innovative and based on our own experience. This experience has led to patents in the healthcare field, optimising the irrigation provided by a catheter to patients, facilitating their recovery and reducing hospitalisation time.
DEVELOPMENT STAGE
The knowledge is ready to be implemented in businesses and institutions. It is based on solid theoretical research that has already been validated in real-world scenarios and protected through industrial property rights.
APPLICATION SECTORS
- Medical Technology (MedTech) Companies.
