Project description
Uncovering the hidden side of infectious diseases
The incubation period is the time interval between exposure to a disease-causing infectious agent and the onset of the first symptom. While it can vary amongst individuals, the rate of replication, as well as the type and length of suppressed symptoms, also varies considerably between pathogens. In this context, the EU-funded DCUBATION project will investigate the actual onset of the symptoms. Specifically, it will conduct real-time evaluation of the prior risk for respiratory infections by integrating transmission models with individual-level data from the electronic medical records of 4.5 million people. The project will identify micro-changes in patient behaviour during the early phase of an infection by analysing digital sensory data from wearable devices.
