L’étude Specchio mise en lumière au 48ᵉ Congrès mondial des hôpitaux à Genève.
Présentée devant des dirigeants hospitaliers issus de plus de 90 pays, Specchio démontre comment une cohorte populationnelle peut transformer la planification en santé : meilleure anticipation des besoins, prévention plus ciblée selon l’âge, le sexe ou le statut socioéconomique, et réduction durable des coûts.

Sie haben kürzlich an der Studie Gesundheitsbus teilgenommen, und wir danken Ihnen dafür. Wenn Sie immer noch damit einverstanden sind, laden wir Sie ein, Ihr Engagement für die Gesundheitsforschung über Specchio fortzusetzen. Dies ist sehr einfach und mit wenig Aufwand verbunden. Sie haben bereits Ihr Konto eingerichtet und Ihre ersten Fragebögen ausgefüllt.

Over the next few weeks we will be sending the results of the Specchio study to the participants. In the meantime, don't hesitate to check out the general results of the Specchio study via Zoom in : https://www.specchio-hub.ch/resultats

An article on brown-out was published in the Tribune de Genève on 2 September 2025. Brown-out is a term used to describe a loss of motivation or meaning at work: you're functioning 'half-heartedly', without being completely switched off. It's a subject we're studying in Specchio via the Santé-Travail 2025 questionnaire.

An analysis of data from the SEROCoV-Kids study shows that between 20% and 30% of children and teenagers aged between 3 and 17 do not comply with recommendations on health behaviour (screen time, physical activity, sleep). These results are a wake-up call, and underline the importance of continuing epidemiological surveillance of the health of the very young in order to put in place effective preventive measures.
