I joined a dissemination event in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, sharing our work on climate change, heat stress and wearables in vulnerable populations.
An important opportunity to bring research into dialogue with policymakers, communities and other stakeholders.

🌍 Meet our researcher Nour Kassem!
Her work aims to contribute to more climate-resilient and equitable HIV care.

Portrait of Nour Kassem, researcher with the Digital Global Health Working Group at Heidelberg University. The graphic introduces her research focus on climate change and HIV.Graphic presenting Nour Kassem’s research focus and vision. Her work uses wearable technologies and environmental data to investigate how climate change affects the health of people living with HIV, with the aim of supporting more climate-resilient and equitable HIV care.

Graphic announcing the Digital Global Health Working Group’s second book chapter. On the left, the text “Our 2nd book chapter is out!” appears above the cover of Volume 216 of Progress in Molecular Biology and Translational Science. On the right is the opening page of Chapter Five, titled “Climate change, health, and wearable biosensors: Harnessing emerging technologies to bridge environmental exposures and physiological responses,” by Nour Kassem, Perla Boutros, and Sandra Barteit. A black wearable wristband, the book cover, and the Digital Global Health Working Group logo are also shown.Infographic explaining why research on climate change, health, and wearable biosensors matters. It states that climate change is already affecting health, while its impacts can be particularly difficult to measure in low-resource and rural contexts. Wearable biosensors can capture real-time physiological responses to environmental stressors such as extreme heat. The global impact section explains that linking wearable data with environmental exposures can enable climate-sensitive health monitoring, help identify vulnerable populations, and inform more equitable global health responses, particularly in underserved regions. Images show people exposed to hot, dry environments.Graphic introducing the chapter authors: Nour Kassem, Dr. med. candidate; Perla Boutros, Dr. med. candidate; and Dr. Sandra Barteit, Digital Global Health Research Group Lead. The right side shows the chapter displayed on a smartphone and invites readers to comment “CLIMATE” to receive the publication link. The Digital Global Health Working Group logo and social media accounts appear at the bottom.

Congratulations to our team member Dr. Julia Feriato Corvetto on receiving DFG funding for a new 36-month postdoctoral project! 🎉
Her research will examine how heat affects mental health in Curitiba, Brazil, and what shapes vulnerability.

Graphic announcing a DFG-funded 36-month postdoctoral project by Dr Julia Corvetto. The project will investigate how heat affects the mental health of people living with mental health conditions in Curitiba, Brazil. The slide includes a photo of Julia speaking into a microphone and icons representing Curitiba, mental health and digital assessment.Graphic explaining the study design. The 36-month DFG-funded project will conduct a population-based cohort in Curitiba, Brazil, with six months of participant follow-up and regular chatbot-supported mental health assessments. The aim is to capture mental health experiences in participants’ daily lives.Graphic titled “Who is most affected?” explaining that heat-related mental health risks may vary according to living and social conditions. Four factors are highlighted: occupation and heat exposure at work; housing and heat exposure at home; income and resources to cope with heat; and contextual factors shaping vulnerability. The findings aim to support more equitable responses.
