Machine Learning to the Rescue: From Health Recovery to Economic Revival
REBORN is a data science project that focuses on the challenge of ensuring sustainable economic recovery in face of Covid-19. The project team will apply advanced Machine Learning and simulation techniques to yield recommendations of economic actions given different scenarios in which the lockdown is relaxed, partially or totally lifted. By interacting with other teams of the Luxembourg Task Force, this project targets high impact for the various sectors of the Luxembourg economy, through providing appropriate data-driven recommendations for political decision-makers. We expect that REBORN ...
Measuring economic activity during the outbreak and in the recovery
The Covid-19 outbreak and its economic consequences have posed the problem of the availability of fast and timely information on economic conditions, to help the policy makers to gauge impacts of crisis and set up the correct fiscal measures, and also to quantify effects through automatic fiscal stabilizers. Official indicators on economic activity are typically released with a lag of one month to several months. This forces policymakers to use past data when making decisions. Fortunately, soft data is available that could help produce 'flash' estimates of current economic activity. Soft...
Monitoring system for epidemiologcal exposure person to person (MEEP2P)
In case of epidemics, where human contacts are the main vector for spreading a contagion, there is a need to track human mobility patterns and interactions in order to trace back how an infected person interacted with other people over a certain time moment. Besides, tacking into account the privacy of users and making sure that access of the data is allowed only with the consent of users and only during well-defined conditions (limited in time of a pandemics) is essential for a democratic society. Our proposal aims at developing such a solution that can achieve a good tradeoff between tr...

Pandemic Simulation and Forecasting for an Empowered Policy-Making: Convergence of Machine Learni...
The COVID-19 pandemic has created a public health emergency unprecedented in this century. The lack of accurate knowledge regarding the outcomes of the virus has made it challenging for policymakers to decide on appropriate countermeasures to mitigate its impact on society, in particular the public health and the very healthcare system. Therefore, the PILOT project will support policymakers with simulation and forecasting tools of the pandemic. Similar tools have already been designed, as part of a collaborative endeavour of the Research Luxembourg taskforce, to assess the short-term imp...
Physical Activity Monitoring via connected wearables as a rapid national citizen science effort t...
Physical activity (PA) behaviour and related metrics are known as meaningful assessments regarding general health and also specific for various diseases including characteristic COVID19 symptoms such as fever, joint aches or headache resulting in drop of PA levels and intensity, increase in sedentary time, increase in sleeping time and changes in resting heart rate which all reverse upon recovery. These specific PA features can be easily collected, in a continuous, passive, unobtrusive and low cost way at large scale as they form standard outputs from a wide range of consumer wearables such...
Privacy Preserving Covid-19 Data Analytics Platform
The COVID-19 pandemic comes with an urgent need of exchanging confidential patient information among local and regional health organizations. Sharing knowledge is crucial for disease surveillance, protecting public health, fighting misinformation and managing the virus outbreak. Medical service providers are required to disclose facts about admissions, transfers and discharges to various entities like the patient's primary care practitioner and post-acute-care services providers. The dissemination of patients' medical records is subject to malicious activities. Most of the current sol...
Privacy and Cybersecurity for Covid Projects
The development of IT-based solutions to fight the Covid-19 are promising. Note however that if such solutions are processing personal data, they have to remain secure and compliant with data protection principles. 'Therefore, a number of considerations should be taken into account to guarantee the lawful processing of personal data and in all cases it should be recalled that any measure taken in this context must respect the general principles of law and must not be irreversible '. In this context, the Privacy for Covid Projects (P4CP) aims at providing expertise in both data protection an...
