The GATEKEEPER project, spanning over four years, aimed to develop and validate an artificial intelligence-based platform for active and healthy aging. Led by Prof. Leandro Pecchia, Dr. Giuseppe Fico, and Medtronic, the project brought together a diverse consortium of universities, research centers, and companies.
Other members of the ABSPIE Lab were key elements for the successful delivery of the project (Dr Piaggio, Dr Maccaro, Dr Pagliara, Dr Haleem).
Despite challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the project achieved fruitful results.

The 16^th Mediterranean Conference on Medical and Biological Engineering and Computing (MEDICON) and the 5^th International Conference on Medical and Biological Engineering (CMBEBIH) were held from September, 14 until 16, 2023, in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The conference was supported and endorsed by IFMBELink opens in a new window (Prof Leandro Pecchia is Secretary General) and EAMBES (Prof Leandro Pecchia is Past President) and the ABSPIE lab represented the School of Engineering of the University of Warwick in this international gathering and had a great participation. The event, which was attended by delegates from all over the world, focused on the importance of biomedical engineering and healthcare technology in addressing various healthcare and global challenges and aimed also to enable participants to establish valuable business contacts, exchange ideas and experiences, and develop collaborations in the field of digitalization.

The contributions of the ABSPIE Lab were numerous.

Infection prevention and control (IPC) is essential to prevent nosocomial infections. The implementation of automation technologies can aid outbreak response. This manuscript aims at investigating the current use and role of robots and smart environments on IPC systems in nosocomial settings. The systematic literature review was performed following the PRISMA statement.
