Evidence-based Prehospital Care: How First Responders Are Bridging the Gap in Emergency Medical Services KU Leuven
In Belgium, the law of 8 July 1964 and its implementing decrees organise Emergency Medical Services (EMS) for people whose health condition requires immediate unplanned care. This assistance is organised through the deployment of an Emergency Medical Dispatch Centre (EMD) that performs three tasks: initial care on site, transport to the nearest hospital and admission to a hospital service.

An empirical bioethics approach on parenthood after medical assisted reproduction: a combined ethical and psychological approach to understand genetic and social parenthood Ghent University
We will map the normative reasoning of all participants to medically assisted reproduction (would-be parent, gamete donors, offspring and medical staff) and use it as a basis to improve the normative system that guides the practice. an important part of the project will focus on the meaning of parenthood and the basis (genetic link or social relationship) on which parental rights and responsibilities are allocated.

Statistical modeling of image processing methods in medical imaging Ghent University
The main theme will be to model the total diagnostic image processing chain, so that weak or critical points in algorithms can be identified and improved already in early stages of research. Specifically the models will allow estimating the robustness of a combination of a cascade of image processing and analysis operaters w.r.t. image nois, suboptimal parameter setting etc. To ensure that the methodology will eventually be applicable in ...
