The COVID-RED study has started and the first participants have been included.
After a long process of preparations and obtaining the necessary approvals from the CCMO and the METC of the University Medical Center Utrecht (UMCU), the study is now open to inclusion. Dozens of participants have already registered. Several campaigns will be launched in the coming weeks to further promote the study, so this number is expected to increase rapidly.
It has now been a year since the first contamination with COVID-19 in the Netherlands was established. The restrictions and measurements have a major impact on everyone. A lot of research is being performed because we would like to know and learn more about COVID-19. In this new important study on COVID-19, using a bracelet and an app, it is investigated whether it is possible to determine at an early stage whether someone is infected with COVID-19, even before someone experiences symptoms.
