The challenge:
Halve the number of people living with undiagnosed lung conditions so they can live longer healthier lives.
Diagnostics that can quickly and accurately detect lung conditions will lead to earlier intervention and more personalised treatment for people living with lung conditions. Improved diagnostic tools and techniques will support faster treatment development and lower healthcare costs by bringing care back to the community.
Lung Research and Innovation Group’s goals to meet this challenge:
And find new ways of measuring lung health.
Particularly for those who are most high risk and therefore most likely to benefit.
To distinguish between different lung conditions and their subtypes, to guide personalised treatment early in the disease journey.
For individuals and community health care professionals to detect early signs of a lung condition and lung infections, so people affected get the right care at the right time.
