HEMOCOVID-19 project process and future goals are explained at ICFO news.
The coronavirus pandemic frequently raises life or death questions such as whether a patient requires respiratory therapy immediately or should be kept in hospital with less invasive treatment. New data suggests that microvasculature (the blood vessels that perfuse the body’s tissues) plays a key role in how the COVID-19 disease evolves.
How does science advance during confinement?

“A researcher had taken one of the devices home to work on it before the lockdown and there he prepared audio-visuals to train the doctors,” he explains. “Two postdoctoral fellows worked on custom analysis models and protocols, and I worked with intensivists to formalize the idea and obtain approvals.” Duduran adds that ICFO’s knowledge and technology transfer unit was critical to their success. The team hasn’t met in person since mid-March, but talks about an international clinical trial are already underway.
