Your platform is evolving and changing name
As well as continuing research into COVID-19 and its impact on the population, our studies will extend to other contemporary health issues that concern us all.
Building on the collective commitment to public health that has motivated the public and research teams since the start of the pandemic, we invite you to join us in continuing to gain a better understanding of how our environment and lifestyles can affect our health, now and in the future.
In early 2023, we will be giving you more information about the extension of these studies and inviting you to continue your participation.
2023 will also see the resumption of the Health Bus. This study, which has been conducted since 1992 by the Population Epidemiology Unit (UEP), will be discontinued in 2020 in order to focus research efforts on COVID-19. Conducted each year among 1,000 people, the Bus Santé study is an observatory of risk factors for non-communicable diseases such as heart and blood vessel disease, diabetes and cancer. It will now benefit from the advantages of digitisation on the same dynamic interface as the other UEP studies.
- Specchio-Hub: bringing studies together on a single platform
In 2023, the Specchio-COVID19 platform will become Specchio-Hub, in order to bring together all these studies with a common goal: to improve our health together in the canton of Geneva. Specchio-Hub remains the secure digital interface that facilitates the various studies in which you are already taking part: your personal space allows you to answer questionnaires online and, depending on the studies in which you are taking part, to obtain the results of your health examinations.
Specchio-Hub is a constantly evolving tool for optimising health research. It's also a forum for exchange and information that unites the public and researchers.
