Why we are here

When you have COPD, it can be hard to remember what it feels like to go about your daily life without any difficulties.

If left untreated, COPD can leave people so short of breath that even simple tasks like getting dressed or walking around the house can be a real struggle – often leading to emotional distress and anxiety.

While COPD can’t be cured, its progression can be slowed down with treatment.

However, current tools for diagnosing and measuring COPD do not provide clinicians every insight needed to deliver optimal patient care.
