PerPrev-CID Featured on German Public Television

Om 20 May 2025, the PerPrev-CID project was showcased by Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR), highlighting its innovative work in the early detection and prevention of chronic inflammatory conditions such as Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD).

Chronic inflammatory diseases affect millions across Europe and are often diagnosed only after irreversible damage has occurred. PerPrev-CID addresses this gap by developing innovative tools and methods for earlier intervention and personalised prevention – a shift from reactive treatment to proactive care. A key aspect of the project is its active involvement of people living with chronic diseases. Participants contribute continuous, real-world data via:

• a digital symptom diary app,
• wearable devices that monitor physical activity, heart rate, and sleep,
• and at-home sampling kits for collecting blood and stool

These data streams are securely integrated into a central platform, allowing researchers to track disease patterns over time and identify early markers of disease activity.
