摘要

COVID-19 revealed a need to address known, expected and emerging infections on large passenger ships. HEALTHY SAILING (Project Nr: 101069764) provides an integrated, methodological approach to address this need. The three-year project is establishing an evidence-base for mechanisms facilitating infection spread onboard passenger ships and effectiveness of prevention, mitigation and management (PMM) measures. Foundational activities in the first year of implementation include systematic reviews, epidemiological studies, surveys and focus groups to identify risk factors, infection frequency, outbreak dynamics, and barriers to compliance with PMM measures. Mathematical models are being developed to predict infection spread onboard and evaluate measures’ impact. Computational Fluid Dynamics modelling explores airborne respiratory pathogen dispersion in ventilated spaces of cruise environments. An Integrated Health E-surveillance System is under development to perform real-time syndromic, laboratory and environmental health surveillance onboard, and will feed an AI Intelligence Immune System to produce health threat alerts, characterize threat levels and recommend/monitor health measures. A toolkit monitoring cleaning and disinfection is being prepared to improve effectiveness of current practices onboard, while a toolkit for technology-induced behavior change is underway, to improve hand hygiene practices onboard.
