Long Covid-19
Identify risks and take preventative action
The COVID pandemic has had a very significant impact upon the lifestyle of individuals and changed behaviour patterns, more so within older people as well as those with ongoing chronic and enduring conditions. This has seen a significant increase in sedentary based behaviours resulting in increased risk of individuals.
Additionally however, for those have contracted COVID the longer-term adverse effects of Long COVID can present with clusters of symptoms that are often overlapping and/or fluctuating. Ongoing research commissioned via Department of Health and Social Care has highlighted a range of long-term effects including breathlessness, headaches, cough, fatigue and cognitive impairment or ‘brain fog’. The machine learning models of the ARMED solution is perfectly suited to identify physiological changes within a person to these enduring illnesses and support with identifying the escalating risk traits at an earlier stage.
