Data Standards in IDEA-FAST
One of the main goals of the IDEA-FAST project is to identify novel digital measures for fatigue and sleep disturbances. To achieve this goal, a large amount of data, including clinical data (e.g., demographic data of the recruited patients) and device data (e.g., data collected by sensors and wearable devices for monitoring fatigue, sleep and […]

Mobilise-D and IDEA-FAST are pleased to announce the creation of the Digital Health Catalyst (DHC)
Mobilise-D is working on digital mobility assessment in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), Parkinson’s disease (PD), multiple sclerosis (MS) and recovery from proximal femoral fracture (PFF). IDEA-FAST is working to identify digital endpoints to assess fatigue, sleep disturbances and activities of daily living in neurodegenerative disorders and immune-mediated inflammatory diseases, including Parkinson’s disease (PD), Huntington’s […]
IDEA-FAST and Mobilise-D join forces to strengthen research and development of digital biomarkers
Mobilise-D and IDEA-FAST, two IMI projects that aim to develop real-world digital outcomes, have announced their plan to collaborate, to bring synergy and increase the impact and benefits of the digital health technologies developed by both projects. The collaboration will exploit common themes and approaches across the projects, to develop digital biomarkers in mobility, sleep […]
New Blog post on benefits of IDEA-FAST outcomes
Professor Walter Maetzler from Universitätsklinikum Schleswig-Holstein wrote a blog post on his personal motivation for participating in the IDEA-FAST project and the potential impact our project can have on defining and measuring fatigue. Is it really possible to measure fatigue with small portable electronic devices that we can almost buy in the supermarket these days? […]
Benefits of IDEA-FAST outcomes for those affected by fatigue und sleep disorders
My family and I moved from southern Germany to northern Germany four years ago. It is beautiful here. However, there is something that I perceive as incriminating: In winter, there is about one hour less daylight than in the south of Germany. I have the feeling that the lack of this time of daylight makes […]
