Simple, at-home #COVID19 antibody tests could provide insights into risk of hospitalisation and death.
New research from our @ReactStudy published this week in @NatureComms could inform timing and roll-out of Covid-19 #vaccine boosters

And probably the most important and urgent study using postal push-to-web we will ever do: Nicholas Gilby presented the methodology and learnings from running the @ReactStudy survey for @imperialcollege at the RSS 4/
How have symptoms changed with different variants of #COVID? 🦠
A new paper from our @ReactStudy, published in @NatureComms, looked at more than 17,000 who tested positive on a PCR test between May 2020 and March 2022.

So pleasing to get such positive feedback for the whole @ReactStudy team from @UKHSA and @uksciencechief. We're very proud of the work we did from May 2020 to March 2022, and of the ongoing research into longer-term impacts of infection #longcovid@grahamscooke@KellyIpsosUK
To everyone who helped make the #REACT study happen, from scientists to kit makers, lab technicians to everyone else involved, and all those who supported them - thank you! 👏👏👏
We are so proud of the REACT study. Thank you to everyone involved across the studies from partners to collaborators and especially everyone who participated.
Our important work will continue with further research into the longer-term impacts of #COVID19.
To everyone who helped make the #REACT study happen, from scientists to kit makers, lab technicians to everyone else involved, and all those who supported them - thank you! 👏👏👏
. @ReactStudy participants uploaded nearly 600,000 images of their antibody tests - here we describe how machine-learning enabled automated image analysis was able to improve accuracy for community surveillance. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3581…
Artificial Intelligence (#AI) could improve the accuracy of reading at-home antibody tests for COVID-19 to better inform public health decisions, like when to offer booster vaccines. 🧵1/8
It is happening! Join us at the #ExRdFest this Saturday and Sunday.
➡️Visit our stalls #FestivalFever, @ReactStudy stand, Stormy Weather Lounge, Peoples Research Cafe, Data Murmurations, Written Portraits and many more.
🌞See you there!
On the @ReactStudy and the importance of co-design in #PatientSafety@maximustiberius at #PSTRCsymposium says:
"Patients and members of the public were intimately involved in the design in the home testing kits and were instrumental to the success of REACT.” @YH_PSTRC @PSTRC_GM
"The data we've gathered is a really precious resource.
"Now that we have this resource, we want to make the best use of it for public good."
In a new feature, we look back at 5 of the most important things the REACT study has taught us.
