In the BDAS project one of the goals is to provide a solution to the monitoring bone healing issue complementing current techniques. Data have been collected in clinical trials from infants treated for Craniosynostosis by a craniotomy surgery. The data are collected with a biomedical sensor based in microwave technology. This sensor could be able to sense changes in the composition of the different tissues in the upperhemisphere of the head by noticing a difference in the propagation of the microwaves, as the bone injury from the craniotomy heals over time. In this thesis, we analyse the clinical data in BDAS project incorporating new approaches with respect to previous analysis methods. These new approaches could give new insight into the proposed solution, but more analysis need to be done.
