IntelligentCare project develops a multimorbidity management decision support system focused on the patient's vision of value, i.e., achieving the outcomes that matter for patients. To this end, analytical methodologies to identify high risk multimorbidity patient groups, as well as to evaluate and define evidence-based clinical pathways associated with each patient group will be used. The project contributes to improved healthcare delivery through precision and personalized medicine and to contribute to market sustainability using new technologies.
INESC-ID leads a project activity for identifying and and characterizing the main clusters of multimorbidity in clinical data. The applicant to be hired will join a team engaged in performing exploratory analysis of clinical data for clinical phenotyping and identification of most frequent representative groups iin multimorbidity, and  investigation and exploration of different data mining algorithms supporting this task.

The PhD Researcher (PhDR) to be hired for this position will support the project’s Principal Researcher, ensuring the  evolution of the scientific and development facets of the project. The PhDR will be tasked with the daily management of the project’s work team, guiding and coordinating the several developments foreseen in the project’s several Activities, including the (co-)supervising of MSc students, in this context. S/He will also serve as main point of contact between the different partner’s technical teams. Although high-level scientific and strategic decisions will be the responsibility of the Principal Researcher, the PhDR will lend his/her support in the definition and implementation of such decisions. Finally, it will be the PhDR’s responsibility to develop and implement the technological solutions needed for the project.

The researcher will have to work with healthcare professionals and do the following tasks:
•	Apply user-centred design methodologies to collect requirements for rehabilitation technologies in clinical settings;
•	Design and develop interactive applications for stroke patients that leverage data from inertial sensors and 3D cameras (e.g. Kinect);
•	Develop tools that support physiotherapists' activities in clinical rehabilitation settings;
•	Prepare and conduct field studies to assess the effectiveness of developed technologies;
•	Supervise students at MSc and PhD level;
•	Submit, at least, three papers to top-level venues.
