Disparities in the distribution of technological resources between public and private hospitals stress the importance of evaluating compliance with regulatory standards. This study aimed to analyze the compliance of the technological infrastructure in Type II and Type III NICUs in São Paulo and Uberlândia, based on the technical criteria established by Brazilian Ministry of Health Ordinance No. 930/2012. The research was motivated by the role of medical equipment in neonatal care and the need to ensure equitable access to intensive care. A quantitative, descriptive, and comparative methodology was adopted, using data from the National Registry of Health Establishments (CNES) regarding the number of neonatal beds and key devices such as incubators, radiant warmers, mechanical ventilators, phototherapy systems, and bilirubinometers. These data were compared against ordinance requirements to assess compliance. The results showed that while most hospitals met the minimum standards, there were gaps, particularly in the registration of transport ventilators and incubators. The findings highlight the need for improvements in national health data systems and reaffirm the strategic role of biomedical engineers in the management and functionality of hospital technology infrastructure.

In this sense, our hypothesis is that, by monitoring moviments of the human body, the mistakes posture that can compromise the gain of physical conditioning and still with potential to cause injury can be identified. These errors, if corrected during training, through guidance to the athlete, can accelerate the conditioning gain physical and avoid possible injuries. In view of the above, this project aims to make a wearable device that captures the amateur athlete's body movements, from gyroscope sending them wirelessly to a smartphone. These data will be used by an application for real-time guidance of athletes, assessment of realization and creation of physical training protocols, based on guidelines from a health professional, aiming to accelerate physical conditioning and minimize possibility of purchase.

In this context, cutaneous electrical stimulation has emerged as a promising non-invasive approach to restore tactile sensations. This study aimed to validate a custom electrostimulation system developed at the Biomedical Engineering Laboratory of the Federal University of Uberlândia (BioLab). Nine healthy volunteers participated in a tactile perception protocol involving the application of individually calibrated electrical currents at different frequencies. After each stimulus, participants rated the perceived intensity, sensation continuity, frequency change perception, and described the evoked sensory quality. The system was shown to safely evoke distinct sensory perceptions, demonstrating a logarithmic relationship between perceived intensity and stimulation frequency, in line with previous findings. Results also highlighted the need for individualized current amplitude calibration due to variability in sensory and pain thresholds. The findings suggest that the system is capable of eliciting a variety of tactile sensations through parameter modulation and holds potential for use in sensory feedback restoration applications.
