Evaluation of the risk factors to COVID-19 among the population 50+
In this project, we aim to evaluate the relationship between characteristics of the individuals aged 50 and above and their vulnerability to COVID-19. Although individuals aged 50+ do not represent the entire population, they have been identified as the most vulnerable group to COVID-19. We will start the analysis by studying the composition of this population group in Luxembourg (in terms of well-known and potential risk factors). As a next step, we will do the same exercise for other European countries to better understand the diversity in the prevalence of risk factors across countries a...
PICC4COVID
PICC4COVID is an SaaS solution providing actionable knowledge for practitioners and researchers in medical and bioscience fields. By using semantic BERT AI analysis, it build an augmented knowledge map extracted from reports, research papaers and so on. Imagine if Italian physicians had had access to all accumulated knowledge right at the beginning of the crisis! PICC Software enable physicians and researchers to access actionable knowledge for resolved problems identified by the healthcare and research community.
Management of stocks of essential products in pharmacies
This project would aim at creating an informative app displaying stocks of essential products during the epidemic (hand sanitizer, masks, thermometers) in the pharmacies. This app would be accessible for public, and based on logistic databases and real-time updates from pharmacies.
Earth Observation Data for Epidemic Management (EODEM)
Previous experience with using Earth Observation (EO) data for monitoring and mitigating the spread of the Ebola virus shows that EO data can be an important tool in the response to global pandemics such as COVID-19. Indeed, in the European Union, Copernicus data is already being used to monitor the various effects of COVID-19 and the response to it. This project seeks to build on these experiences to understand how EO capabilities and resources can be implemented to better manage epidemics and pandemics as well as what measures are needed to protect from the wrongful uses of these resource...
WINDFALL: Wireless Network Data Fusion for Analysing Indoor Social Distancing Levels
Contact tracing apps are designed to quickly identify and interrupt infection chains using communication technologies. While geolocation approaches have been considered at an early stage, the most promising solutions now rely on the use of Bluetooth and signal strength measurements. However, although these solutions can trace an infected person's contacts quickly, they suffer from significant issues, which suggest that the production of advanced social distancing indicators and manual tracing are still needed. WINDFALL will implement a platform for monitoring crowd behaviour patterns in ...
Covid-19 Detection by Cough and Voice Analysis (CDCVA)
Emergency service hospital center receives a huge number of calls in epidemic period, among these calls there are critical cases that need rapid intervention, it may be delayed to answer these cases. Therefore, we suggest a solution by giving an indication of health status of the person calling directly when hearing his voice and cough. This indicator depends on finding a degree of correspondence between the caller's voice, cough signatures and that of certain patients with the Covid-19 virus. The solution proposed by CDCVA project can also be used effectively by health professionals for re...
CoLiBri - COVID19 Literature Browser for Scientific Investigations
Researchers around the world are in a race against the clock to find treatments, vaccines and diagnosis methods for COVID19. A major hurdle lies in the necessity to digest an abundant scientific literature which grows by the day. Keeping up with such a growth requires appropriate visual text analytics software, combining the power of text mining algorithms with the flexibility of interactive visualizations. The CoLiBri proposal aims to give free access to the COVID19 researcher community around the world to the Papyrus literature visualization software developed at LIST (https://colibri...
Impact of the Covid-19 crisis on employment participation of older workers
The objective of this project is to investigate the impact of the current COVID-19 crisis on the employment participation of older workers in Luxembourg. Due to demographics shifts, improving the employment participation of older workers is essential in order to sustain the pension insurance system. In the context of the COVID-19 crisis, older workers need particular attention as the labor market is affected in a profound way. First, since the crisis, many employees are able to work remotely. However, sectors where telework is not a practical option such as construction, real estate, manufa...
