ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is focused on understanding health problems that travelers may face when visiting emerging countries. These health issues can include stomach and lung infections, malaria, and accidents. By studying these problems, researchers hope to identify the risks associated with travel and develop better advice to help keep travelers safe and healthy.

To participate in this study, you need to be at least 18 years old, own a smartphone that can be used for data collection, and be preparing to travel outside of mainland France. You also need to be covered by social security or private insurance and willing to take part in the study. Participants will be asked to share their experiences and health during their travels, which will help researchers understand how to reduce travel-related illnesses. It's important to note that this study is not yet recruiting participants, so there is still time to consider if you meet the eligibility criteria before it begins.
