The URGE Project

A new approach to alleviating emergency room congestion using a flow simulator. Led by Dr. Youri Yordanov and researcher Xavier Allamigeon, this ambitious collaborative project has won the Bernoulli Lab Challenge. Youri Yordanov is an emergency physician at the Saint-Antoine Hospital (AP-HP/IMPEC/Sorbonne University Hospital Federation) and a professor at the Sorbonne University Faculty of Medicine. Xavier Allamigeon is a researcher at the National Institute for Research in Digital Science and Technology (Inria) and the Ecole Polytechnique. Together, they are coordinating the URGE project, which is designed to analyze emergency room patient flows and optimize their management. "This project brings together the expertise of mathematicians, visualization and probability research teams from Inria and Ecole Polytechnique, and clinicians and researchers from AP-HP and Sorbonne University," explains Youri Yordanov. The number of patients going to the emergency room has doubled from 10 to 21 million over the last ten years.
