Ana Maria Oliveira is a dedicated Biomedical Engineer with a passion for creating innovative medical solutions that enhance the quality of life for people with special needs. She holds an MSc in Biomedical Engineering from FCT NOVA and has completed a course on the new European Regulation EU 2017/745 on Medical Devices at Instituto Pedro Nunes. Her solid foundation in Biomedical Engineering, coupled with her regulatory knowledge, enables her to develop compliant solutions that have a positive impact on patients' lives. In her MSc thesis, Ana Maria successfully developed a custom body-powered hand prosthesis using flexible materials and additive manufacturing techniques. She gained hands-on experience with 3D printing using both rigid and flexible materials. Building on her academic experience, Ana Maria further honed her additive manufacturing skills as a Project Manager at Jodrax, focusing on the health sector. In this role, she was responsible for market research, engineering consulting, and the development of 3D printed medical devices, expanding her expertise in the field. Ana Maria is a dedicated professional, passionate about making a positive impact on patients' lives and constantly seeking opportunities to expand her knowledge and skills. Throughout her university years, she actively engaged in various projects that reinforced her commitment to healthcare and rehabilitation engineering. As the Team Manager for the project "Wheelchair's optimized arm for post-stroke patients," she focused on developing an adaptive device for wheelchairs to assist caregivers in controlling the movements of the patients affected upper limb. As the President of the Networking and Institutional Relationships Department at EBIMed, Ana Maria developed her communication skills by engaging with key opinion leaders and healthcare institutions, while organizing promotional events, workshops, and competitions. In conclusion, Ana is a dedicated and passionate Biomedical Engineer with a strong background in additive manufacturing and a desire to create solutions that positively impact patients' lives. Through her education, research, and professional experiences, she demonstrates the technical and interpersonal skills required to excel in the healthcare sector. As she continues her journey, Ana Maria remains committed to making a lasting impact in the field of rehabilitation and beyond.
