The project is fourfold: it intends to (i) build a platform that can manage massive health data and make them usable for researchers; (ii) use the tools of graph theory to describe the healthcare system in a systematic and quantitative way; (iii) develop new machine learning tools to understand the

The stated objectives of the "100% health" reform are to improve dental care access, with an increase in the volume of care consumed and in the share of preventive and primary care. They are based on a break in continuity in the pricing of care and their financial coverage. The reform institutes a s

Real world evidence derived from real world data (RWD) has been mainly used to assess treatment safety, while it has been used only in limited circumstances to assess treatment effectiveness in real-life setting. Multiple types of data sources are available to achieve this goal, notably nationwide h

The aim of this project is to advance our understanding of the social and ecological determinants of menstrual health in non-clinical (i.e., “normal”) settings. Menstrual cycles have been recognized to be a vital sign for female health, because of its association with the development of various chro

The urbanisation process around the world, which started in High-Income countries, favours obesogenic environmental conditions. The development of transport and tertiary sector, as well as processed energy-dense food, associated with sociocultural factors, such as urban stress, together participate

ERMES is an interdisciplinary research project that mobilizes disciplines belonging to the humanities and social sciences (anthropology, sociology, education sciences), behavioral sciences (decision sciences, psychology, economics) and computer sciences (knowledge representation, machine learning).

According to WHO, mental health is a global emergency, for children, adolescents and young adults in particular. Universities and colleges across the world are struggling with rising rates of students’ mental disorders. Demand for services on campuses exceeds available resources. Therefore, most stu

Few studies have investigated malaria co-infections, mainly caused by Plasmodium falciparum, which mostly affect children under 5 years old in sub-Saharan Africa. These studies have mainly focused on malaria-associated bacteremia with an estimated prevalence of 9.1% [7.8-10.4] and an associated mort

Patients, medical doctors, public health decision makers, governments creating policies: our society depends on evidence from scientific research that is expected to be trustworthy. In this process, scientific integrity is paramount. However, the COVID-19 pandemic stressed that scientific misbehavio

There are many applications of ionizing radiation, for example medical uses. Exposure to ionizing radiation can have major consequences for human health. Nevertheless, exposure to ionizing radiation of the population is well below the accepted thresholds of harmfulness, and mostly comes from natural

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a major cause of blindness, with dramatic personal and societal consequences. The advanced forms of the disease, associated with major visual loss, are preceded by early forms, generally asymptomatic, which represent a window for prevention. In addition to a

Adverse environmental conditions in the prenatal period, notably maternal depression, maternal obesity and socio-economic disadvantage, are acknowledged risk factors for later child mental health problems. Biological factors including immune, neurotrophic and metabolic factors have also been related

Heat-4P will provide comprehensive knowledge on physiological and social factors increasing vulnerability to the adverse health effects of heat during pregnancy for women and children and new understanding on the biological cascade of events leading to these health effects. We will capitalize on the

To date, globally one out of four children is stunted and the current best- of -practice treatments are not able to correct for more than a third of the observed growth delays. The development of complementary, innovative interventions are therefore of utmost importance. In the Afribiota study we sh
