The COVID-19 crisis is not only a major global health crisis. It impacts our societies from a socio-economic standpoint and brings a high level of uncertainly, in many areas. This crisis is impacting very concretely our everyday lives, by changing our ways of living, our social relationships, and, as such, also our mental health.
Researchers, health professionals and experts have developed a tool that can support us in this difficult period: Covidout.ch (and Covidout.fr for France). This web app accompanies people in order to evaluate their psychological state and proposes concrete adapted measures, such as videos, advice, but also training programmes.
This instrument is the fruit of a cooperation between the Institute of Global Health (ISG) of UNIGE Faculty of Medicine and the Haute Ecole de Santé de Genève, the Université Paris Est Créteil, the CNRS and the INSERM.
