Analysis of the EU-wide baseline surveys on Campylobacter spp. in broiler flocks and on Campylobacter spp. and Salmonella spp. in broiler carcasses Lot No. 2 Hasselt University
Effect of meat physical structure and various cooking appliances on thermal inactivation of salmonella spp., Campylobacter spp., verotoxin producing Escherichia coli and Liseria monocytogenes. Ghent University
Our study is to systematically gather information on inactivation kinetics for several strains of the "big four pathogens" in a variety of meat types and under a variety of cooking conditions to feed this in risk assessment studies needed bu meat processing businesses, food service operations and competent authorities.
‘Stay with me’, a coaching intervention APP for parents of children with overweight Ghent University
Recent statistics suggest that worldwide more than 340 million children and adolescents aged 5-19 are overweight or obese (more severe variant). Obesity during childhood is a significant risk factor for obesity in adulthood, which entails many harmful health risks including the major risk for cancer. This pleads for prevention and early intervention in an at risk group.
The current project aims to tackle the problem of overweight in ...

mHealth Approaches in Sub- Saharan Africa and Participatory Design of mHealth app for Self-management of Diabetes KU Leuven
Summary The World Health Organization (WHO) defines e-Health as the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) for health. e-Health enables public health and primary healthcare through activities such as disease surveillance, primary health data acquisition and analysis, support of community health workers, tele-consultation, tele-education, research and patient management. Managing a patient remotely using ICT is regarded as a ...
Testing & optimising a mobile app in Belgium for the prevention and management of COVID-19 infections Ghent University
This project aims to develop and test a digital contact mapping tool (the ‘COVered App’ to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the overarching contact tracing strategy in Flanders and Belgium. The COVered app goes beyond Belgium's current approach by combining GPS data, which records locations, with BLE technology to map contacts. It allows exchange of care-related information between eHealth and CoZo.be (Collaboratief Zorgplatform ...

Analysing the function of APP as Wnt signaling receptor and the relevance for the Alzheimer disease. KU Leuven
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia among the elderly. Research in the
AD field has been mostly focused on the biology of the Ab peptide but increasing evidence is shifting
attention toward the physiological role of APP as key to understanding AD pathology. It is becoming
apparent that APP plays a central role in the mechanisms that guarantee the accuracy and the
robustness of brain wiring. ...
