Porto, Portugal, June 25-27 2024

IEEE MELECON 2024 was a hub of innovation and collaboration, and we're very happy to be invited to present and gather insight. IEEE Melecon is a major international forum presenting design methodologies, techniques, and experimental results in emerging electro-technologies. It is one of the flagship conferences of the IEEE Region 8 - the largest region of IEEE including Europe, Africa, and Middle East.

Lively discussions

Our workshop titled "e-Hospital4Future - Building the Future through an Innovative and Digitally Skilled Hospital", led by Susana Nicola, Alexandre Gouveia, Ana Madureira, and Nuno Bettencourt, sparked lively discussions and productive group work.

Joachim Gregoor from Hogeschool PXL also contributed significantly by sharing his experiences teaching Emerging AI, Mixed Reality, and Simulation Use in Health Care at Centro Hospitalar Universitário de Santo António.

Collaborative methodology

The success of the workshop was largely due to the interactive group work. Using an adapted "Think, Pair, Share" method, participants were able to engage deeply with the project's activities, leading to a flow of suggestions, questions, and future ideas. The workshop concluded with a fun and engaging Kahoot! quiz, testing participants' knowledge of the project and its modules.

The event was a resounding success, thanks to the enthusiastic participation and the insightful contributions from all attendees.

Thank you to IEEE for hosting us, and to everyone who joined the workshop!
