+
+We are pleased to announce that **Unai Elordi**, researcher affiliated with the Computer Vision and Pattern Discovery (CVPD) group, has been selected as one of the five winners of the **first Fundación ASISA Research Awards** in the health research category.
+
+The award recognizes his project on the **development of a clinical decision support system for the early detection of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) using video analytics and artificial intelligence**.
+
+### 🎯 Project overview
+
+The awarded research focuses on creating an **AI-powered clinical decision support tool** that leverages **video analytics and computer vision techniques** to enable **early detection of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus**, a neurological condition that affects gait and mobility in elderly patients.
+
+This work aligns with the CVPD group's research lines in:
+- **Computer vision and gait analysis**
+- **Machine learning and deep learning for biomedical applications**
+- **Clinical decision support systems**
+- **Video-based human pose estimation and movement analysis**
+
+### 💰 Award details
+
+Fundación ASISA has granted this award as part of its **first call for research and social action support**, with a total investment of **60,000 euros** distributed across ten projects (five in health research and five in social initiatives).
+
+Each selected project receives a grant of **6,000 euros** to support the research work. The foundation has announced that this program will continue with a **new edition in 2027**.
+
+### 📋 Other awarded research projects
+
+In the research category, the other four selected projects were:
+
+- **Macarena Espinilla**: Application of AI for early detection of clinical and cognitive deterioration in university settings
+- **Óscar Rapado**: Development of an epigenetic signature in liquid biopsy for stratifying the risk of occult lymph node metastases in oral cancer
+- **Adrián Mosquera**: Validation of an AI tool to improve secure access to clinical knowledge in oncohematology
+- **Isabel María Barceló**: Research on the resistance mechanism of *Pseudomonas aeruginosa* in otitis media
