The B-prepared project (https://lnkd.in/dtmZqJMF) : ----> Building #disaster_preparedness solutions for #citizens !! < ----- The project offers a #costeffectiveness solution for building a culture of #disasterpreparedness with a multi-actor approach in realistic historical scenarios. B-prepared builds on a freely accessible massive collaborative knowledge base and #data #hub, demonstrating its usefulness via three demonstrator applications: a cooperative multiplayer Virtual Reality (#vr) #seriousgame, an interactive gamified #mobileapp with age-appropriate content and a Learning Management System (#lms) to effectively and comparably measure preparedness levels achieved by VR and/or mobile users on a unified scale. Player behaviour and #gameplay logged in a privacy-preserving way helps collect data on in-game behaviour which serves assessment of preparedness but will also be shared with other synergic research in the same field. A large-scale VR #hackathon series will #demonstrate its features. The open beta will be publicly available as a #giveaway, inviting #stakeholders via direct outreach. After finishing the beta release, the game will be available in a non-profit #freemium #model where in-game purchases are replaced by in-game donations for relief organisations, with a small percentage kept for maintenance and further development. Having commenced in October 2023, we are mapping your gaming habits! Do linkup with B-prepared #horizoneurope project to help us to design the #Digital products in order to assist us to effectively build #disaster_preparedness solutions for #citizens in the most enjoyable ways.

FITTER-EU and the twin green and digital transition .. ..   The twin green and digital transition is one of the EU’s main directions, which was recognised in the Letta report. The European Green Deal and the EU’s digital agenda recognises that the two transitions are closely linked. In this context, it is crucial to understand how these sweeping changes may cause relevant societal impacts. According to the EU Joint Research Centre publication ‘Towards a green and digital transition’, both green and digital transitions are about profound changes in our way of life. A core premise of the FITTER-EU project (www.fitter-project.eu) is that transformation requirements by the twin transition will not affect different segments of the population in the same way. Twin transition can result in further inequalities in our societies and thus, the project is focused on supporting policy makers during their decision-making process. The final outcome of the project is the development of the FITTER-EU ecosystem, a highly interactive and gamified digital platform powered by an Intelligent Predictive Decision Support System. This enabling platform aims to inform and provide inputs to policymakers regarding the effects of the twin transitions in prioritised population groups at-risk of suffering adverse effects. Perhaps, to better explain this, have a listen to this FITTER-EU video. https://lnkd.in/eawPaTDP The project is dedicated to researching the origins, dynamics, and determinants of inequalities related to the twin transition, with particular focus on the six countries of the project: Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Portugal and Spain. The project studies the effects of the transitions across four sectors —Energy, Transport, Building & Housing, Food & Agriculture — as well as policy responses that support decision-making for a just twin transition in Europe.

Get to know the BD4QoL project in the Cluster ! We know that head and neck cancer can take away a patient’s “right to feel human,” its impact on physical appearance, physical functioning as well as psychological status. Patient general quality of life (QoL) can be devastating. Over the past several decades, the number of patients who survive head and neck cancer (HNC) has increased. This makes lifelong surveillance critical. HNC imposes an extremely high socioeconomic burden on patients during and after cancer compared to other tumors, including costs from treatment-induced morbidities, loss of workforce participation and short-term disability. Current survivorship care plans are mostly focused on functional and health conditions of treated patients, whereas socioeconomic determinants of quality of life are often neglected due to difficult data collection. This is where the BD4QoL project is applied. The primary objective of BD4QoL is aimed at improving HNC survivor’s Quality of Life through person-centred monitoring and follow-up plan by contribution of artificial intelligence and big data unobtrusively collected from commonly used mobile devices, in combination with multi-source clinical, -omic, socioeconomic data and patients reported outcomes.

Looking forward to showcasing the FITTER-EU project at the #OECD Forum on #Wellbeing event in Rome, alongside MERGE and our sisters projects READJUST and ST4TE. If you want to know more about our project, we'll be delighted to meet you at Booth #7 in the exhibition area. See you there!!

What is our approach? The FITTER-EU project (www.fitter-eu.com) utilizes scenario mapping as a pivotal foundation for intersectional equality impact assessment procedures and tools. The underataking involves: * Creating scenarios to understand vulnerabilities and risks. *  Conducting intersectional analysis to identify at-risk social groups. * Providing risk assessments of inequalities. * Offering policymakers predictive tools and better practice guides to mitigate potential negative effects on identified at-risk groups. Our integrated multi-level, multi-sectoral and multi-actor approach aims to enable effective anticipation and mitigation of inequalities during the digital and green transition process to be realised.
