Keynote by Dr. Filipe Barata on Everything, Everywhere, All at Once: The Power of Digital Biomarkers in Personalized Health, 22 April 2025
Tuesday, 22 April 2025, 4.15 pm CET, ZOOM
About Filipe Barata
Dr. Filipe Barata serves as the Core Director for AI & Digital Biomarker Research (ADAMMA) in the Center for Digital Health Interventions at ETH Zurich. He holds an MSc in electrical engineering and information technology, as well as a Doctor of Science in applied machine learning in healthcare, both from ETH Zurich. Dr. Barata’s research focuses on exploring the potential of mobile technologies such as wearable sensors, mobile applications, social media, and location-tracking technologies for monitoring and self-management of healthy individuals or with chronic diseases, also known as “digital biomarkers” in the relevant literature.
About the Lecture
Digital biomarkers, derived from ubiquitous personal technology like smartphones and wearables, are transforming personalized healthcare. They provide continuous, multimodal health insights in real-time, bridging traditional clinical gaps with data-rich, individualized information. In this presentation, I introduce the Bitemporal Lens Model, a novel conceptual framework outlining the effective application of digital biomarkers in preventive healthcare. Furthermore, I present our recent research advances on digital biomarkers across diverse health domains, including heart failure, rheumatology, asthma, and ageing, along with our latest contributions to open-source software and open-weight resources, particularly our software sensor framework and middleware platform, CLAID.
