Dr. Mickael Fonseca has been a Post-Doctoral researcher at the Quality of Life Lab, part of the Institute of Service Science at the University of Geneva, Switzerland, since December 2024. He holds a B.Sc. in Biomedical Engineering from Universidade Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro, Portugal, and an M.Sc. in Biomedical Engineering with a focus on Biomechanics from Université Paris Descartes, France. In November 2022, he completed his Ph.D. at the University of Lyon 1, France, and the Kinesiology Laboratory at Geneva University Hospitals, Switzerland. His Ph.D. research focused on managing variability in clinical gait analysis.
After completing his Ph.D., Dr. Fonseca worked on various clinical research projects related to rehabilitation. This included evaluating patients with knee ligament injuries and validating an exoskeleton for neuro-rehabilitation during a post-doctoral position.
At the Quality of Life Lab, his current research focuses on studying how behavioral, psychological, and physiological factors in daily life impact glucose management in people with type 2 diabetes, using wearable devices. The ultimate goal is to use this knowledge to develop AI tools for risk assessment and provide personalized therapeutic solutions, improving patient quality of life and reducing the risk of complications related to diabetes.
