We have participated at the Kick-off meeting of Danube Transnational Programme project D-CARE LABS. It was an excellent event. We presented a few outcomes of previous projects LQ CELIAC and Focus IN CD and shortly presented activities within ongoing CD SKILLS project with emphasis on possible synergies between the two DTP projects targeting similar challenges.

Based on the content of the D-CARE LABS there is possibility to co-operate in pilot services aiming at early recognition of celiac disease in risk groups and elderly population, in detection of complications of celiac disease and in telemedicine solutions in Covid-19 pandemic. There is also a possibility for cooperation in pilot services aiming at improved quality of life of celiac disease patients especially in the one aiming at improvement of catering service for people with specific dietary requirements such as gluten-free diet.

We are looking forward to develop synergies with D-Care Labs project.
