Personalized Remotely Guided Preventive Exercise Therapy for a Healthy Heart - the PRIORITY project KU Leuven
PRIORITY aims to generate the scientific evidence for the use of
remotely guided exercise therapy as an accessible, clinical and costeffective
treatment to prevent the deleterious effects of sedentary
aging on the heart and forestall progression towards heart failure (HF).
In Belgium, an epidemic of HF exists, with 200 000 HF patients and 40
new cases every day. Mortality approaches 50% within 5 yrs of
diagnosis. ...

Smartphone crowdsourced medical data for biomedical research: Addressing the ethical, legal and health policy concerns KU Leuven
Smartphone applications for health are being increasingly used as a platform for collecting and sharing large volumes of crowdsourced personal health data for biomedical research and algorithm training. Consumer genetics products are similarly allowing individuals to have direct access to their own genetic data and to share such data with researchers. Using smartphone and genetic data in these ways presents numerous opportunities to expand ...
Unified Sparse Representation for Plenoptic Modalities (UniMode) Vrije Universiteit Brussel
representations allowing for higher resolution, richer portrayals of the
real world. Currently deployed modalities aim at offering richer
experiences: point clouds are providing a representation of the scene
space, light fields are providing a projection of the 3D scene in the
observer plane, while holograms are providing a projection using ...
Development of MALDI-TOF MS based discrimination of bacterial strains within species for fast prediction of antibiotic resistance and for efficient prevention of nosocomial transmission. Ghent University
Application of MALDI-TOF (MT) technology revolutionized the field of diagnostic microbiology for the identification of bacterial isolates cultured from clinical samples. In a few seconds, MT generates complex peptide spectra from isolates and compares a simplified spectrum to a database of spectra from known species to obtain an identification. However, the most important information for the clinician, i.e. the susceptibility of the isolate ...
Hybrid machine learning with BIM for energy optimization and dweller well-being in smart buildings Ghent University
Residential and commercial buildings consume 40% of the total energy, 70% of the total electricity and are responsible for 41% of the greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, it is important to eliminate any energy wastage in buildings. The dwellers of these buildings, i.e. the knowledge workers, spend 86% of their time indoors, so this building environment has a large impact on their well-being. The management of these buildings is today done by ...
