Researchers from ETH Zurich, EPFL and the ISI Foundation are developing a wearable tracking system for healthcare facilities that can identify the risks of infections. Initial tests in Switzerland and Africa show its potential. 💓 brnw.ch/21wHmgO #TrackingSystem #COVID19

Our new paper is out about our perspectives on digital transformation of Public Health and huge opportunities for non-communicable diseases.

@glichand @ejustin46 Understanding its infodemiology nature and combining with other key metrics, like lab results, would be a great step to get away from Google flu trends fiasco.

INTERESTING ! Assessment of the relationship between Google Trend search data on clinical symptoms and cases reported during the first wave of the COVID-19 outbreak in India. medrxiv.org/content/10.110… Scaled Google Trends data for keywords and Covid-19 cases across India.

Our new study is out! It shows hybrid immunity reduces certain symptoms during SARS-CoV-2 breakthrough infections. Additionally, booster doses further lower symptom frequency. Key findings in the ongoing fight against #COVID19. Access full paper here onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Excited to kick-start our groundbreaking scientific project in Africa, leveraging the power of #DigitalContactTracing to foster pandemic preparedness. Stay tuned for an exclusive sneak-peek into our project. cc @SrdjanCapkun @ciro @BorisDanev @carmelatroncoso @CSatETH

Had an amazing Sunday! Implemented #ChatGPT via MacOS terminal using #Homebrew & @OpenAI API. Its intelligence, understanding #GlobalFluView's importance for pandemic preparedness, blew me away! 🚀 Check globalfluview.org for real-time flu trends. #AI #PublicHealth

Our results shed light on the potential advantages and limitations of using Participatory Surveillance data. Link to the paper: publichealth.jmir.org/2023/1/e44517 (5/5) @glichand @danielapaolotti @jmirpub

In our data, forecasting models integrating both approaches increased accuracy up to 3% relative to a 14-day forecast model based exclusively on TS data. Furthermore, we showed that PS data captured a population that significantly differed from a traditional observation. (4/5)

💥Our latest article comparing participatory surveillance (PS) and traditional surveillance (TS) data on COVID-19 infection rates in 9 Brazilian cities. PS data can be used for early detection and combined with TS data to increase accuracy in forecasting models. (1/5)

@glichand 🔥🔥🔥

New paper alert 🚨 Latest result from our healthcare workers cohort in eastern CH. Booster vaccination might further reduce both the risk of Omicron breakthrough infection and the number of reported symptoms, although this benefit fades over time. journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/a…

@ArthurWelle @Colab_re ...porém ainda estou com dificuldades para achar uma tabela que tenha o código de município do TSE linkado com o código de município do IBGE. No mapa acima, estou com uma perda considerável para região Norte. (2/2)

@ArthurWelle Excelente!!! Me inspirei e usei o Colab Geo (@Colab_re ) baseado em kepler.gl para tornar a visualização dinâmica (1/2)

Diferença absoluta de votos a favor de Lula ou Bolsonaro em cada município. #Rstats

Lichand et al. find that remote learning in São Paulo during the pandemic substantially decreased learning outcomes. Middle and high school students learned 27.5% of the in-person equivalent and dropout risk increased by 365%. @glichand @onicioneto buff.ly/3GjJ69n

#Remotelearning CAUSED worse learning outcomes during the pandemic, above and beyond other direct effects of #COVID19 and longer #schoolclosures CAUSALLY magnified these effects. New paper from @glichand and @onicioneto in @NatureHumBehav 👇: socialsciences.nature.com/posts/how-much…

Excited to see our paper on the impact of remote learning in Brazil during first year of pandemic!
