Decision support for prediction and management of Long Covid Syndrome (LCS)

Deliverables

Creation and composition of the independent ethics advisory board

The external clinical andvisory board will be appointed and consulted for every clinical action performed in the clinical trials planned to be executed in the project.

First version of CDE strategy

This document presents the first version of the dedicated LongCOVID Communication, Dissemination and Exploitation strategy based on the preliminary plan and KPIs included in the LongCOVID proposal. D8.1 identifies the different stakeholders along the whole value chain, their targeted dissemination activities and the set of tools to be used. From an exploitation perspective, this document presents the general strategy for the exploitation management of the project.

Report on epidemiology and commonness between Finland and Netherlands

We will gather together epidemiological evidence from Finland and the Netherlands to estimate the incidence of long Covid and its effect on the work ability of patients.

Data Management Plan

The Data Management Plan (DMP) will address the relevant aspects of making the data FAIR – findable, accessible, interoperable and re-usable. It will describe what data the project will generate, whether and how the data will be made accessible for verification and re-use, and how it will be circulated and preserved. We will use the latest template and guidelines provided by the Horizon Europe program and Online Manual.

Common data portal for LC cohort data

The deliverable envisions the base structure of the database with the definition of the endpoints to retrieve, send and store the data of LC cohort data. The API will be documented in Swagger and continuously updated as soon as new datapoints will be defined during the project runtime.

Project website

This deliverable describes the website created for external communication about the LongCOVID project, presenting an overview of all sections and functionalities.
