An Apple Watch Dashboard for HiGHmed Heart Insufficency Patients.

Wearables are commercially available devices allowing continuous monitoring of users' health parameters. Their easy availability, increasing accuracy and functionality render them relevant for medical practice, specifically for longitudinal monitoring. There are clear benefits for the health care system, such as the opportunity of timely interventions by monitoring a patient during his daily life, resulting in a cost reduction in medical care and improved patient well-being.

CALINCA-A Novel Pipeline for the Identification of lncRNAs in Podocyte Disease.

Podocytes are the pivotal cell type for the function of this filter and focal-segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a classic example of a podocytopathy leading to proteinuria and glomerular scarring. Currently, no targeted treatment of FSGS is available.
