Researchers from the International Center for Cancer Vaccine Science (ICCVS) at the University of Gdańsk take part in creating the IT base.

As noted by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education:

In the current epidemic situation, the database will be a valuable source of information on the incidence of co-infections and their impact on patients' health useful for the entities responsible for epidemiological safety and healthcare. In addition, the collected data can be used by physicians in their decision-making processes regarding treatment selection or establishing procedures.
