Beatriz is a young graduate in Interactive Media Design at University of Madeira, her work was a mobile projection system with the aim of helping people to know how to walk with crutches correctly regarding to the coordination between the foot and the crutch. With this work she published at CHI, Interact conference and International Workshop on Behavior Change Support Systems. She is currently doing her PhD in Informatics Engineering with specialization in HCI and her work is in improving the well-being of informal caregivers
