AICovIX - AI based diagnosis of Covid-19 from CT/X-Ray imaging
The gold standard for Covid-19 diagnosis is RT-PCR for SARS-CoV-2 from the upper airways. This method suffers from decreased accuracy in more severe disease stages affecting the lower airways. False negative PCR tests in severe cases impose a massive risk to the health system, promoting intra-hospital disease spread in the actual pandemic situation. Reports from China indicate false negative PCR from upper airway samples in severe Covid-19 pneumonia in more than 50% of the cases. Therefore, complementary tests for the detection of these dangerous cases are urgently needed. The value of che...
DICO-Lux: DIgital Covid-19 Observatory In LUXembourg: An Open Tool For SARS-COV-2 Crisis Manageme...
Monitoring online activities for public health purposes has been investigated since the first days of the digital epidemiology field early 2010s, with the objective of capturing health-related trends and model disease outbreaks. Most famous examples of internet surveillance were developed for the flu, influenza AH1N1, the Zika virus or Ebola. We now have the opportunity to leverage both the digital data available online and the appropriate Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Text Mining methods to fight the Covid-19 pandemic. The main objective of the DICO-LUX project is to rapidly d...
Visual Public Protection Disaster Relief and Critical Infrastructure
The aim of the Visual PCI project is to develop an IT platform to assist crisis managers and critical infrastructure planners. The platform will provide a new approach to risk assessment and will visually present the essential elements of Public Protection and Disaster Recovery (PPDR) resources and the Critical Infrastructure (CI) functions as required by crisis management and Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) and planning. Real time data input will provide situational awareness. Simulations will support planning and crisis management by considering population behaviour as well as de...
