Existing evidence and cohorts

Workpackage #1

Project

Existing evidence and cohorts 

WP1 will gather and organise health information from of a wide range of CVD patients. This will include information on medical tests (diagnostic screenings), the presence of other medical conditions (comorbidities), data from fitness trackers and health apps (wearable data) and other measurable indicators of health in the body (biomarkers).

The goal is to organise this information into a large database (in WP2) so it can be used to better understand these health conditions and find the best ways to treat them. This information will be standardised and documented uniformly to ensure other researchers and health professionals can easily access, understand and use it.

In addition, WP1 will lay the foundations for a prospective clinical trial with type 1 diabetes patients, which will be carried later in the project (WP6) to address knowledge gaps about this patient population.
