Intelligent alarm system helps Covid-19 patients
A group of Danish researchers from DTU Health Tech in collaboration with Rigshospitalet, Bispebjerg and Frederiksberg Hospital have developed a unique patient surveillance system with wireless monitoring. The system will now be distributed to all Danish hospitals.
An artificial intelligent system with wireless 24/7 monitoring of patients will make it easier for the country’s hospitals to keep an eye on whether the condition of patients with covid-19 is suddenly deteriorating. Initially, Rigshospitalet, Bispebjerg and Frederiksberg Hospital will start using the system. But the Danish Regions have granted resources for up to 250 units to relieve the pressure on hospital staff and secure the best possible patient care in the hospital wards across the country.

Kids Prefer Mealworms to Grasshoppers When Its Comes To Eating Bugs
Insects are a sustainable, climate-friendly food source. But what will it take for us to begin eating them? 188 Danish 11- and 12-year-old children have rolled and eaten their own mealworm and grasshopper fortified oatmeal balls as part of a University of Copenhagen research project. The project aims to explore what it will take to shift our eating habits in a more climate friendly direction. The experiment demonstrates that some insects have a greater yuck factor than others and that mealworms might be our best bet for an insect-protein rich dietary future.
Insects, like mealworms and grasshoppers, are a sustainable, climate-friendly food source. But what will it take for us to begin eating them?
To find out, researchers had 188 Danish 11- and 12-year-old children roll and eat their own mealworm and grasshopper fortified oatmeal balls.
The finding? Some insects have a greater “yuck factor” for kids than others and mealworms might be the best bet for an insect-protein rich dietary future.
Grasshoppers vs. mealworms food prep
For the study, published in
Food Quality and Preference, Danish 5th and 6th graders made havregrynskugler golf ball-sized oatmeal balls using either roasted mealworms or grasshoppers. But before they could roll the insects into balls of oatmeal, peanut butter, and butter, the kids needed to crush the mealworms.

On 01 January 2021, Cementir will begin distributing FUTURECEM
™ cement which has a carbon footprint that is up to 30% lower compared to regular cement. The launch of the FUTURECEM technology constitutes a significant contribution to both the green transition of Cementir Group and the construction industry.
FUTURECEM is a new grey cement innovated by the Group’s research and development department in Aalborg, Denmark, in close collaboration with its Danish subsidiary, Aalborg Portland.
The product is an innovative, validated and patented technology which allows for more than 35% of the energy intensive clinker in cement to be replaced by limestone and calcined clay. The combination of materials in FUTURECEM has resulted in a more sustainable, high grade cement with up to 30% lower carbon footprint compared to regular Portland cement. The low carbon benefits have been achieved without compromising strength and quality.

Detection of manipulation receives DTU award
DTU’s award for this year’s student start-up goes to Defudger for their use of artificial intelligence to expose fake photos and videos.
An app for revealing manipulated content in digital images and video will receive DTU’s award as student start-up of the year in 2020. The app was developed by the start-up Defudger, which now has activities in Denmark, Germany, and Hungary. Defudger is founded by Hungarian Dominik Mate Kovacs and Zoltan Kovacs, who are both MSc students at DTU, and former CBS student Kristof Szabo.
“Defudger wants to do something about the increasing use of fake content on the Internet that threatens our democracy and political processes. They are first-movers on the market and show strong determination and an ability to surround themselves with people who help them maintain high speed and quality in their work. Defudger will receive the award as the start-up of the year for a technology that benefi
