LongCovid – Decision support for prediction and management of Long Covid Syndrome (LCS)

The European project Long COVID works to examine the mechanisms behind the long-term effects of a COVID-19 infection

The Long COVID Consortium, including many EU leading organisations, is the first of its kind to elucidate the predisposing factors and mechanisms for the development of Long Covid Syndrome (LCS)

A seven million EUR funding and four-year research project on long-term effects of COVID-19

To decipher the mechanisms underlying Long Covid Syndrome (LCS), the EU project will conduct geographically diverse cohort and registry studies in Finland, the Netherlands and Switzerland

The Long COVID consortium will also conduct research on the mechanisms and biomarkers of long-term effects of COVID-19 infection and the rehabilitation methods

The patient benefits directly from research on the causes and of improved treatment methods of the disease by increasing of hope and strength to tackle this disease

What’s new in the project?

The EU has awarded a 7 million EUR funding to a HUS Helsinki University Hospital-led consortium to examine the mechanisms behind the long-term effects of a COVID-19 infection. The objective is also to create a Decision support system for prediction and management of Long Covid Syndrome (LCS).

The number of patients suffering from long-term effects of a COVID-19 infection are growing worldwide. It is therefore important to identify and understand the mechanisms behind the continuing symptoms and to use this improved understanding to provide adequate treatment to patients. This is what the HUS-led Long Covid-project aims to do. The research evidence created during the project will be simultaneously used to develop and improve care of Long Covid patients.
