Abstract (EN): This presentation gives a review of the main concepts behind fibre optic sensing networks. Some important application areas are mentioned, such as the monitoring of oil fields, of large Civil Engineering structures, as well as of natural environments. Then, it will be addressed the potential relevance of this technology in domains of increasingly social importance, such as Health and Elderly Care, particularly in the development of Personal Health Systems.
