Knowledge platform for covid sufferers with long-term consequences
Some affected Covid 19 patients still suffer from long-term consequences today. Lunge Zurich has therefore launched an online platform to promote the exchange of experience and knowledge among affected individuals and experts.
Numerous corona patients suffer from the long-term consequences of the disease. Even sufferers with mild symptoms report complications occurring later. However, "long covid" patients often feel left alone with their fears, complaints and questions, as Lunge Zurich writes in a statement.
In professional circles, there is still a lack of contact points and suitable therapies. For this reason, the former Lung League (now: "Lunge Zurich"), the online platform "Altea" was launched.
The platform is intended not only to support those affected with medical questions, but also to be a general point of contact so that Long Covid patients can exchange information with each other. In addition, doctors, therapists and researchers can bring together new findings to raise public awareness of the long-term effects of the coronavirus and to better document the accompanying symptoms. In a second step, Altea will also be a real service and counseling center.
