Infection prevention: clean air indoors as well

Dear Sir or Madam,

Open all windows – this way, we have to protect ourselves from the coronavirus in indoor locations where people spend time together. This is totally fine in warmer months, but the cold becomes an ordeal for many during winter. A protective canopy is able to help here since it locally cleans air but does not cool down the entire room. Learn more in our current interview.

Stay healthy!

mHealth for asthma: Help me manage it myself!

Topic of the Month

Today, managing one's own chronic disease is hardly possible without digital helpers – not least because of the corona pandemic. People with asthma also benefit from apps and wearables. They help patients connect better with doctors and better understand their own disease. Our Topic of the Month looks at why this is so important and what the digital services can do.

Cartilage matrix for cartilage regeneration

Laboratory Equipment, Diagnostica, Research & Technology

Just a few millimetres thick, articular cartilage plays a crucial role in our musculoskeletal system, since it is responsible for smooth (in the truest sense of the word) movement. However, the downside of its particular structure is that even minor injuries do not regenerate. Timely treatment of cartilage damage is therefore essential.

Detecting COVID-19 antibodies in 10-12 seconds

Laboratory Equipment, Diagnostica, Research & Technology

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University report findings on an advanced nanomaterial-based biosensing platform that detects, within seconds, antibodies specific to SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to testing, the platform will help to quantify patient immunological response to the new vaccines with precision.

European Union citizens have the right to free movement, settlement, and employment across the member states. In efforts to also digitize the health and care sector, another right is now being added: the EU plans to build a European Health Data Space to facilitate the secure cross-border exchange of health data.

Covid-19: protective canopy prevents infection

Interview

The risk of infection with SARS-CoV-2 is particularly high indoors. This is because, in addition to smear and droplet infection, infection via aerosols that accumulate and spread in the air is also possible there. Sufficient air exchange or air purification help to prevent this. The protective canopy developed by Fraunhofer IBP also follows such an approach.
