The main objective of the DEMDETECT project is the development of innovative, simple, and effective tools for the early detection of cognitive impairment that can be applied in primary care centers of the national health system. To do this, it combines the assessment of olfactory function and cardiac function with artificial intelligence algorithms capable of identifying risk profiles in healthy populations.
Project funded by the Spanish ministery.
The aim of this project is to develop a computerized system to aid clinical diagnosis for the screening of diabetic retinopathy. The system will use clinical history computerized data from primary care devices. The main objective is to provide family doctors with a tool to detect personalized risk of developing diabetic retinopathy. Its impact on the diabetic population of Camp de Tarragona Health Region, with a total of 44,118 diabetic patients registered in its 33 Health Centers, will be considered.
The ITAKA group has been collaborating with the Scientific and Technological Park of Tourism and Leisure (EURECAT) since 2009 in the design and implementation of intelligent recommender systems of touristic activities in the region of Tarragona. This work is framed in the project SigTur (recommendation of tourist activities based on the user profile) and EnoSigTur (recommender specialised in enotourism).
iTAKA was present at IJCAI-ECAI 2026, the 35th International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence, one of the top conferences on AI. It was held in in Bremen, Germany, on 15-21 of August 2026. Dr. Valls and Dr. Moreno presented a work in the Qualitative Reasoning workshop. Dr. Valls also participated in the ECAI assembly as representative of the Catalan association on AI (ACIA).
The Entrepreneuship Talent Award of the Fundació Gresol recognized ExplainUp, a project that uses Artificial Intelligence to transform complex information into easy-to-read text. SRBLab and Inserlab from URV design and validate the tool, while the ITAKA group is involved in its implementation.
Our group has participated in the workshop. Pol Pujol has presented a poster about our work with the LSTM team about detection of cognitive impairment with sociodemographic and lifestyle variables, within the DEMDETECT project.
