Nowadays, there is a trend of patients wanting to be involved in their own care and rehabilitation process. However, the interactive software systems used by patients and medical staff are most of the time not designed with this in mind and if they are, they are only applicable to a specific medical system. Given the importance of health informatics in an aging society with higher needs for longer (chronic) disease care, there is a growing need ...

HCV treatments as prevention in Europe: model projections of impact and strengthening evidence base on intervention coverage and effect and HCV morbidity Hasselt University

Immunology - Biochemistry
'HCV Prevention And Intervention Coverage In EU: Model Projections of Impact and Strengthening Evidence Base o\n Intervention Coverage and Effect and HCV Morbidity: in short, 'HCV PREVENTION AND INTERVENTION COVERAGE' Chronic hepatitis C (HCV) is a common infection and globally the fastest growing cause of liver disease. In Europe and other countries, people who inject drugs (PWID) are the key risk group for HCV morbidity and transmission. HCV ...

Studying the contribution of an underlying liver disease to the development and progression of liver cancer: from NASH to HCC KU Leuven

Georg Halder
Laboratory of Growth Control and Cancer Research (VIB-KU Leuven)

The incidence of liver cancer, more specifically of Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC), which is the most common type of liver cancer, has been increasing worldwide. Such increase is directly correlated with an increased incidence of underlying chronic liver diseases, like Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). The mechanisms involved in the pathophysiology of NASH and HCC have been studied, however ...

Ho Chi Minh City branding towards walkability and children-friendly mobility: A comparative study between on-site survey and virtual reality on how the walkability affects city branding and traffic safety Hasselt University

An NEVEN
University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City, Transportation Behaviour
An improved walkability within the urban landscape can support both tourists and the inhabitants of this region, especially the vulnerable population groups like children. In Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), there are several typical problems of walkability and urban mobility, which negatively impacts the comfortable and safe experience of pedestrians, consisting of tourists and inhabitants, especially school children who typically walk to school. ...

Controlling the combustion in HCCI engines by Piston Assisted Compression Ignition Ghent University

Sebastian Verhelst
Department of Electromechanical, Systems and Metal Engineering

This project will investigate how an additional piston can be used for controlling an HCCI combustion engine. The development of the engine concept and the precise estimate of the potential to increase efficiency and reduce emissions will be used as additional input for patent applications and / or other forms of protection. A valorization strategy will also be made.

High-end, modular EEG equipment for Brain Computer Interfacing (Flanders BCI Lab) KU Leuven

Marc Van Hulle
Laboratory for Neuro- and Psychophysiology

With Brain Computer Interfaces (BCI's) subjects can control the environment from their brain activity directly, bypassing the need for speech or other forms of muscular activity. Evidently, this has raised great hopes for patients suffering from severe disabilities. After the initial successes, three challenging topics have emerged for the future. First, the hybrid BCI's that aim to achieve a faster and more reliable communication by ...
