TU Eindhoven corona invention goes international
Whenever a patient is admitted to Catharina Hospital in Eindhoven, it is essential to determine as quickly as possible whether or not the patient has COVID-19. In addition to a PCR rapid test, since last year’s first wave the hospital has also been using the so-called CoLab score. The CoLab algorithm was developed in collaboration with TU/e and is calculated based on the changes that the coronavirus causes in the blood. This score is already successfully used in several hospitals in the Netherlands. Recently, the European Union awarded a grant of 150,000 euros to accelerate the introduction of the CoLab score in hospitals across Europe as well.
