Development of a comprehensive model for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) prediction at an early stage [ 2019 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Jennifer Perret (Principal investigator)

Brief description Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major global health problem with high mortality and few effective treatments. To reduce this burden, I will quantify existing and newly identified COPD risk factors, and integrate them into a comprehensive risk prediction model. By converting this knowledge into a web-based tool that I will evaluate in primary care settings, identifying at-risk individuals at an early stage offers an innovative strategy to improve COPD outcomes.
