[News Viscovery]

Marburg (DE) / Trondheim (NO) / Maastricht (NL) / Horn (NL) / Vienna (AT), 1 July 2018 Viscovery and our transnational group of scientific and clinical collaborators just started the interdisciplinary project ERACo SysMed-COPD.

The main aim of this project is to develop a clinical decision support system for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which will help doctors and medical staff to find the best therapeutic option for the individual patient. Data about several thousand patients from different patient cohorts at different clinics will be used to build a model for identifying possible risk factors and expectable outcomes to respiratory therapy.

The project is part of the EU framework ERACoSysMed for Systems Medicine to address clinical needs and is co-funded by the national funding institutions

  • Bundesministerium fΓΌr Bildung und Forschung (BMBF), Germany,
  • The Austrian Science Fund (FWF), Austria,
