Let’s think science together!
In short, A-Patch is a 3 years long research project funded by the EU Horizon 2020 programme. In A-Patch, we have worked on the development of a point-of-care technology for the diagnosis of tuberculosis. More specifically, we created a sticker patch to be applied for the patient’s arm. Containing a pouch of absorbing material, the patch collects compounds released through the skin.
We will dive into topics related to the world of e-health, tuberculosis, health equity and responsibility of health research and innovation. The event will be a space for open discussion among invited panelists, experts and general attendees who are join the conversation on-site or virtually from different parts of the world.
All sessions of the seminar are open to the public and participation is free of costs.
Can’t make it to the seminar? Don’t worry, the seminar is recorded and we provide an opportunity to watch the recording on YouTube until the 22nd of June 2022!
A-Patch consortium meeting was planned to be in Finland at the beginning of June, but due to COVID19 it was arranged as Zoom meeting. Nevertheless, we had very fruitful and, as you can see from our smiley faces, very enjoyable meeting. In good company even solving technical, clinical and ethical issues can be fun

The purpose of this meeting was to discuss the clinical and ethical aspects related to the study. Furthermore, a plan for stakeholder engagement activities was created based on discussion and interviews of doctors and their connections to other TB programs in various countries.
During 15 mAY 2019, all A-PATCH partners attended the first GA & Board meeting of the project. This was the first meeting face-to-face. During the meeting, each partner presented their progress and future work. during the day, an open discussion was held regarding various topics related to the project as well as risk assessment, in order to synchronize the mutual work of all the partners. At the end of the day, an RRI workshop was organized by VTT to all the partners.
The first annual conference on Wearable Devices for Medical Diagnosis was held in Technion during May 2019. Researchers all around the world attended this conference, as well as industry represents, and start-up companies. The conference focus on the detection of vital signs as well as other biomarkers for detection of diseases and health states via wearable devices. A-PATCH partners attended this conference and presented their work in this field.
