Description:
The overall objective of the PathoCERT project is to strengthen the coordination capability of the first responders in handling waterborne pathogen contamination events, allowing the rapid and accurate detection of pathogens, improving their situational awareness and their ability to control and mitigate emergency situations involving waterborne pathogens. To achieve this objective, the project researches and demonstrates Pathogen Contamination Emergency Response Technologies (PathoCERT), a collection of novel, cost-effective and easy-to-use technologies, tools and guidelines (i.e., wearable sensors, augmented reality, tactile interfaces, incidence management system, rapid water quality sensors, autonomous drones, satellite analysis, social media analysis, threat assessment tool, digital twins), which are field-validated by the first responders.
