Multilingual Framework for Risk Assessment and Symptom Tracking (MRAST).

The importance and value of real-world data in healthcare cannot be overstated because it offers a valuable source of insights into patient experiences. Traditional patient-reported experience and outcomes measures (PREMs/PROMs) often fall short in addressing the complexities of these experiences due to subjectivity and their inability to precisely target the questions asked. In contrast, diary recordings offer a promising solution.

Breath Sensor Technology for the Use in Mechanical Lung Ventilation Equipment for Monitoring Critically Ill Patients.

Background: The need for mechanical lung ventilation is common in critically ill patients, either with COVID-19 infection or due to other causes. Monitoring of patients being ventilated is essential for timely and improved management. We here propose the use of a novel breath volatile organic compound sensor technology to be used in a mechanical lung ventilation machine for this purpose; the technology was evaluated in critically ill COVID-19 patients on mechanical lung ventilation.

Cancer microcell initiation and determination.

Background: Cancer remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide, despite the possibilities to detect early onset of the most common cancer types. The search for the optimal therapy is complicated by the cancer diversity within tumors and the unsynchronized development of cancerous cells. Therefore, it is necessary to characterize cancer cell populations after treatment has been applied, because cancer recurrence is not rare.
