Structure and function of the cerebral cortex in human and nonhuman patients: from single cells to deficits in patients (Leuven Cerebral Cortex Center). KU Leuven
Markers of endothelial dysfunction in the critical ill patient: The evolution of the functional capacity of endothelial progenitor cells in patients with sepsis. University of Antwerp
Does patient empowerment foster access to and re-use of data in biomedical research, while allowing for meaningful protection of the fundamental right to data protection of patients? KU Leuven
Biomedical research relies on access to and re-use of personal data. The complex legal EU framework and in particular the divergent application of the General Data Protection Regulation, currently challenge the conduct of research. New policy initiatives, such as the European Health Data Space, promise to address the existing complexities and facilitate research, while simultaneously empowering patients by strengthening their control over ...
Exploring needs and expectations of patients towards patient participation in their own care University of Antwerp
Patient data sharing for the improvement of healthcare and medical research: towards a moral duty of patients to share health-related data? KU Leuven
The project answers to the following central research question: ‘How would a moral duty of patients to transfer (health) data for the benefit of health care improvement, research, and public health in the eHealth sector sit within the existing confidentiality, privacy, and data protection legislations?’. The improvement of healthcare services, research, and public health relies on patient data, which is why one might raise the question ...
UZA-Towards a patient supported, well tolerated and evidence based prophylactic swallowing exercise program to improve quality of life and swallowing function In head and neck cancer patients treated with chemoradiotherapy. University of Antwerp
Patient specific image-based computational modelling for improvement of short- and long-term outcome of vascular access in patients on hemodialysis therapy (ARCH) Ghent University
The arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the first choice vascular access for hemodialysis treatment. The general approach of the present project is the generation of patient-specific models of hemodynamics based on medical images and functional measurements. The project aims at providing criteria for surgical planning and prediction of short- and long-term function, onset of steal syndrome and heart failure. Models will be extensively validated ...
