Accurate detection and monitoring of minority variants that confer drug and antiviral resistance is critical to therapeutic and vaccine trials. Specifically, it aids in controlling the emergence of novel variants that can potentially lead to outbreaks of disease and breakthrough infections. Gene variants can compromise virologic response and impact clinical outcomes. In this webinar the featured speaker explores the following case study: Viracor Biopharma Services has developed and validated a next-generation sequencing (NGS) assay to determine the genetic variability in the F gene of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) isolated from human nasal swab (NS) specimens. The NGS method has several advantages over standard Sanger sequencing related to higher sensitivity, quantifiable, cost effective and automatable data analysis steps. The study utilized a deep sequencing approach to quantify minority variants. The patients in this study received a therapeutic targeting RSV. Defined proportions of artificial virus quasispecies were used in creation of artificial RNA pools, and their relative proportions were measured using the NGS assay. The assay was validated for the performance characteristics such as analytical sensitivity, precision and accuracy.

We cordially invite you to participate in DigiHealthDay-2022, the International Symposium hosted by European Campus Rottal-Inn of the Deggendorf Institute of Technology (DIT-ECRI) on 11 November, 2022, in cooperation with its local and international partners. DigiHealthDay explores modern Digital Health and its role in tackling global health problems from a uniquely international perspective. The previous edition of this signature event – DigiHealthDay-2021 – was attended by nearly 560 participants from 74 countries, and received testimonials; “It is fruitful with updated knowledge” “great discussion. great experts gets right to the point”, “Very educative”, among many.

Highlight themes this year include: AI Research, Ethics and Regulation; Pragmatic Research in Digital Health; as well as – traditionally – Digital Health Education. The one-day-long action-packed symposium will include keynote talks by leading German and international experts, audience-centered panel discussions, oral and poster scientific presentations, student thesis and project presentations, and networking possibilities. Register now to receive timely updates about our distinguished speakers and fascinating program.

As in the previous years, a series of pre-conference DigiHealth Workshops by leading national and international experts, will be hosted in the Spring-Summer of 2022. Register now to benefit from that exclusive learning opportunity. This year the Symposium will be preceded by a special 5-day Workshop on Explainable and Ethical AI in Healthcare delivered jointly by leading experts from DIT-ECRI, University of Agder (Norway), University of Aalborg (Denmark), and Luleå Technical University (Sweden). At the DigiHealthDay-2022, we will also share first-hand the result of the important ongoing research on Digital Health Education conducted by DIT-ECRI, and the highlights of our new online learning course "Global Digital Health".

Use of virtual care exploded during the COVID-19 crisis and it forced many health systems to an immediate response. Some systems had a basic foundation of telehealth services and had to rapidly expand and deploy to meet the care needs of their patients and families. Shriners Hospitals for Children was no exception. In this webinar we will review the role of Shriners Children’s care delivery models, expanse of system and patients and the responses implemented for addressing care needs across North America and internationally. Sustainability measures and growth strategy will be reviewed to show continued support and need.
