The Coronavirus app (CovApp) is software developed by Charité in cooperation with Data4Life. You can use it to get recommendations for action in just a few minutes. The app asks you several questions including symptoms, travel history, and potential contacts. Besides recommendations for action, rel...evant contacts, and structured results, the purpose of the app is to optimize patient flow into testing sites, ambulances, and clinics. Please note that this app does not provide diagnostic services.
In this way, the CovApp can help you to better assess your medical condition, provide recommendations regarding doctor’s visits or Coronavirus testing, and summarize relevant medical information for future doctor’s consultation.

Die CovApp ist eine von der Charité in Zusammenarbeit mit Data4Life entwickelte Software, mit der Sie innerhalb weniger Minuten einen Fragenkatalog beantworten und daraus spezifische Handlungsempfehlungen erhalten. Dafür werden Ihnen Fragen nach aktuellen Symptomen und möglichen Kontakten gestell...t. Diese App erbringt keine diagnostischen Leistungen. Sie erhalten aber nach Beantwortung des Fragenkatalogs konkrete Handlungsempfehlungen, Ansprechpartner und Kontakte sowie eine Zusammenfassung Ihrer Daten. Ziel ist es, die Patientenströme in Krankenhäuser und Untersuchungsstellen zu optimieren.
So kann Ihnen die CovApp helfen, die Notwendigkeit eines Arztbesuches oder Coronavirus-Tests besser einzuschätzen. Die medizinisch relevanten Informationen für ein etwaiges Arztgespräch werden am Ende für Sie zusammengefasst.

In our Data Explorer you can see our COVID-19 vaccination data — you can also visualize the latest data on confirmed cases, deaths, and testing.
On this page we provide an overview of excess mortality along with charts to explore the data. You can learn in more depth about different measures of excess mortality, their strengths and limitations, and their comparability across countries
This dashboard is a visualization of a study of global vaccine acceptance

Carbon dioxide emissions are the primary driver of global climate change. It’s widely recognised that to avoid the worst impacts of climate change, the world needs to urgently reduce emissions. But, how this responsibility is shared between regions, countries, and individuals has been an endless p...oint of contention in international discussions.
This debate arises from the various ways in which emissions are compared: as annual emissions by country; emissions per person; historical contributions; and whether they adjust for traded goods and services. These metrics can tell very different stories.
We teamed up with the YouTube channel, Kurzgesagt, to produce a video which explored these different metrics in detail: ‘Who is responsible for climate change? – Who needs to fix it?’. All of the data and research featured in this video is contained in this article: below we look in detail at the many ways emissions are broken down.

Polio is an infectious disease that is caused and transmitted by the poliovirus. Most infections do not lead to any symptoms, but—among the unvaccinated—...between 1 in 50 and 1 in 500 infections result in paralysis. For some it leads to death.
At the start of the 20th century, polio was endemic worldwide, with large epidemic outbreaks every year. But with the development of two vaccines in the 1950s, countries began eliminating polio one by one.

The IDF Guide for Diabetes Epidemiology Studies has been developed to create standardized epidemiological methods in diabetes studies to enable researchers to conduct high-quality studies that generate robust data
Data on asthma aetiology in Africa are scarce. We investigated the risk factors for asthma among schoolchildren (5–17 years) in urban Uganda. We conducted a case-control study, among 555 cases and 1115 controls. Asthma was diagnosed by study clinicians. The main risk factors for asthma were tertia...ry education for fathers (adjusted OR (95% CI); 2.32 (1.71–3.16)) and mothers (1.85 (1.38–2.48)); area of residence at birth, with children born in a small town or in the city having an increased asthma risk compared to schoolchildren born in rural areas (2.16 (1.60–2.92)) and (2.79 (1.79–4.35)), respectively; father’s and mother’s history of asthma; children’s own allergic conditions; atopy; and cooking on gas/electricity. In conclusion, asthma was associated with a strong rural-town-city risk gradient, higher parental socio-economic status and urbanicity. This work provides the basis for future studies to identify specific environmental/lifestyle factors responsible for increasing asthma risk among children in urban areas in LMICs.
