Covid-19: HSS/ Horizon Scanning Living Document (v14 May 2021)
The establishment of a HSS/ Horizon Scanning System for Covid19 interventions has the intentions of informing health policy makers at an early stage which interventions (vaccinations and drugs) are currently undergoing clinical trials and to monitor them over the next few months in order to support evidence-based purchasing if necessary. The products are monitored with regard to the status of the clinical studies up to approval and finally evaluated for their benefit and harm.
All work steps are conducted in close international (European) cooperation.

Parent-Child-Pass Update 2020/21 – Screenings for mental health, nutrition and social competence – recommendations from evidence-based guidelines
Several previous reports researched and summarised screening recommendations from evidence-based guidelines for pregnant women and children. The aim of this update was to review the guideline recommendations for mental health, nutrition, and social competence from previous reports to ensure they were current and to provide an update. The total of 52 included guidelines recommend screening and/or counselling for the majority of the topics addressed. The update report can subsequently be used as a decision support for an updated screening program for pregnant women and children.

Robotics and functional electrical stimulation for stroke rehabilitation
Robotic assisted rehabilitation (RAR) and functional electrostimulation (FES) can, among others, be used as a supplement to conventional rehabili-tation in post-stroke patients. The use of RAR could have the advantage of allowing more intensive and frequent therapy (by increasing the motiva-tion to train), which at the same time reduces the effort of the physiotherapist. FES is a targeted application of electrical stimulation inducing muscle contractions supporting motor activities. The electrical stimulation takes place during a functional movement and may, inter alia, strengthen the muscle and improve blood circulation or blood flow.
This report aimed at evaluating the additional clinical benefit of RAR and FES. Systematic reviews of effectiveness and safety were conducted in cooperation with a working group (ReMoS/ Rehabilitation of Mobility after Stroke - AG) of the Association of the Scientific Medical Societies in Germany (AWMF)
