LUPUS EUROPE is delighted to invite you to participate to its Kick lupus 2018 “Word Cloud” contest (*)Billede1

There are so many ways to Kick Lupus a little (or a lot) further away!

 

 

Billede2This year, the “Kick Lupus Workgroup” came up with a motto: “Kick Lupus – Pushing the limits to reach a better quality of life”. This connects very well to our next convention theme which will be “restoring hope”.

 

We invite all people living with lupus in Europe, their family and friends to participate:

For YOU, what is “Kick lupus?”

Build a word cloud that expresses what “Kick Lupus” means to you, and how you can “Kick Lupus” every day…Billede3

 

and send it to kirsi@lupus-europe.orgby September 1, 2018.

The best word clouds will be displayed on our website, and the winner will be invited to present its word cloud to the LUPUS EUROPE Convention end November 2018.

(*) Some important details:

– A word cloud is a way to assemble key words of relevance to the topic, using different sizes and colors to draw attention to the respective importance of each of them. Words assembled can then form a cloud shape… or any other attractive shape. You can find (free) word-cloud apps on internet, or draw them by hand and scan them.Billede4

– Submissions will be evaluated by a Jury appointed by LUPUS EUROPE Board, giving an important consideration to the content of the cloud, rather than merely the artistic appearance.

– Submissions will be received from today until 1st September 2018

– By sending your word cloud, participants agree to its use and publication by LUPUS EUROPE without payment of copyright.

– Word clouds can be made in any European language. However, we ask to please provide us with a translation of the words used (which can just be a list on a separate sheet) to help the Jury assess fairly the word content.

Today is rare disease day!

🚨 There are over 300 million people who live with a #raredisease in #europe.

🌎 Today, we join our fellow patient organisations that work towards a better life for people with rare diseases and their families.

🔴 Some facts about #rarediseases:

1️⃣ There are more than 6000 identified rare diseases.

2️⃣ Rare diseases currently affect 5% of the worldwide population.
The true impact of rare diseases is much wider, however, with those affected in Europe in the millions, as the disease affects not only the patient but also our loved ones.

3️⃣ 72% of genetic diseases are genetic, although #lupus is not one of them.
👉 Lupus is not a genetic disease. Although it is very much related to genes, there are other factors that play a role in its manifestation.

4️⃣ 👶Neonatal #lupus is a rare congenital disorder that some infants of mothers with lupus and anti-Ro/SSA and/or anti-La/SSB antibodies develop.
The most serious complication of neonatal lupus is a heart condition known as congenital heart block.

5️⃣ Having an early diagnosis is key to having access to the right treatment. This has an impact on physical and mental health and, therefore, on the quality of life.

Along with organisations like Rare Disease Day and EURORDIS-Rare Diseases Europe, we will carry on working towards an early diagnosis, access to treatment and equality for #raredisease patients 🙌.

Thank you for your support on this #rarediseaseday!

Today is #RareDiseas

😃 Throwback to the HMA/EMA Multi-Stakeholder Workshop on Artificial Intelligence.

Watching Alain Cornet show the world what #LupusGPT really is still gives us goosebumps! 🙌

For those who still don't know this artificial intelligence tool:

💡 LupusGPT is built by patients and doctors.
🗣️ It speaks virtually any language.
💸 It’s free and anonymous- you don’t need to create an account.
📚 It is trained exclusively on a curated repository of validated documents.
🚫 It does not invent answers.

If something is not in the repository, LupusGPT will clearly say so. It will not guess. It will not generate false information.

🥹 Seeing LupusGPT presented at such a high-level regulatory forum confirmed something important:
Patient-led innovation can meaningfully contribute to the future of AI in medicine when it is built responsibly.
