Predicting major challenges of returning to work in Luxembourg by evaluating the impact of change...
This project is a study conducted by Pétillances, a company based in Strassen, Luxembourg, specialized in psychosocial risks prevention, trainings and organisational consultancy. This study was launched on 27th April 2020 and is still ongoing. It consists in a questionnaire evaluating how the measures taken by the Luxembourgish and cross-border governments are impacting the work organisation and what consequences it has on workers' mental health. Its first purpose is to compare the situation before the confinement measures were introduced and afterwards, for example: in what extent has ...
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.
COVID-19 and chronic diseases: national health care provider survey
COVID-19 is placing unprecedented pressures on healthcare systems. The current declared pandemic has urged healthcare professionals to reorganise profoundly their everyday practice while trying to maintain care for other patients. Since the 'lockdown' situation in Luxembourg, changes in the medical sector include the opening of advanced care centres, promotion of teleconsultations and restrictions on non-urgent health care. Pre-existing chronic diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular and respiratory disease are reported as being major risk factor for severe COVID-19 health outcomes (Jordan ...
iTECare
Nosocomial infection represents (at European level) 5 million cases, 135,000 deaths with a cost between 13 and 24 billion euros. iTECare is a startup dedicated to develop, produce and distribute ecological disinfection solutions facilitating decontamination, ensuring employee safety, reassuring clients and avoiding new outbreaks • UV-C desinfection lamps able to sterilize in 2 minutes (instead of 20 minutes) an hospital room, hotel room, a meeting room, an office, a cloths shop. The UV-C lamp emits very useful ultraviolet radiation at the wavelength of 253.7 nm, which destroys the DNA & ...
COVID-19, MEntal HEalth, REsilience and self-REgulation (COME-HERE)
Humans are a social species, and their health, life and genetic legacy are threatened by social isolation. Like other animals, humans fare poorly when isolated. The preventive measures to contain the current COVID-19 outbreak limit all forms of physical social contacts to a minimum, more and earlier in some countries than in others. Differences exist also within the same country due to household composition and dwelling location. Social isolation is associated with ill health. In this project we will investigate which factors predict levels of psychological distress and well-being associate...
Memomoti project
The digital revolution has provided people with access to unlimited resources and knowledge. Unfortunately, the processes for learning have not evolved to align with this new paradigm. Students ask 'why can't we play instead of learning'? Educators ask 'why can't I get my students to engage'? The question everyone should be asking is 'why can't we learn while we are playing? EduGamiTec is ready to radically change traditional education and digital entertainment! Multiple studies show that children spend on average 15 hours (McAfee & Center for Media and Child Health) per week playing ...
BioOrg eliminate the virus on surfaces and weaken spreading
BioOrg is a natural ecosystem initially destined to purify indoor air quality and facilitate natural cleaning. It is made of bacteria naturally present in our forest. No allergens, no additives except perfume for a safe use in all environment. Very simple : fine spraying in indoor spaces (buildings, vehicles, homes) will create a natural ecosystem. Bacteria in the solution will digest fine particles (aggressive to the lungs and carrier of COVID-19), solvants, and other indoor polluters. Bacillius bacteria are known for years to dry out surfaces by digesting biomass, thus creating a hostil...
CORONASTEP+ - The value of sewage surveillance to provide new insights on the circulation of SARS...
Infection with SARS-CoV-2, the etiologic agent of the current COVID-19 pandemic, is accompanied by excretion of the virus in the feces. Therefore, we assume that the quantification of SARS CoV-2 in sewage allows the prevalence of infections in the population to be monitored by wastewater-based epidemiology, particularly when clinical trial capacity is limited. The overall objective of the CORONASTEP+ project is to determine to which extent SARS-CoV-2 is present in domestic wastewater and to determine how far wastewater monitoring can be used to track and understand the circulation of SARS-...
