AI-enhanced Breathanalyser for the prediction of COPD exacerbations <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

COPD exacerbations, marked by severe breathing difficulties, double the rate of lung function decline and increase 5-year mortality risk by 61%. With most patients experiencing at least one exacerbation per year, and severe cases seeing 3-4 episodes annually, the burden leads to 894,000 COPD hospitalizations yearly in Europe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, there’s a lack of easy-to-use, biomarker-based remote monitoring, resulting in delayed medical intervention. An urgent need exists for a rapid, non-invasive, and accurate predictive tool for at-home monitoring to enable timely personalized interventions and reduce hospitalizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goal of the COPDetect consortium is to develop an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-enhanced breathalyser for at-home monitoring of COPD patients to predict sudden worsening of symptoms, known as exacerbations, on time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As exacerba\u00e7\u00f5es da Doen\u00e7a Pulmonar Obstrutiva Cr\u00f3nica (DPOC), caracterizadas por dificuldades respirat\u00f3rias graves, duplicam a taxa de decl\u00ednio da fun\u00e7\u00e3o pulmonar e aumentam o risco de mortalidade a 5 anos em 61%. Com a maioria dos pacientes a sofrer pelo menos uma exacerba\u00e7\u00e3o por ano, e os casos graves a registarem 3 a 4 epis\u00f3dios anuais, a carga da doen\u00e7a resulta em 894.000 hospitaliza\u00e7\u00f5es por ano na Europa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O COPDetect fornecer\u00e1 o primeiro baf\u00f3metro melhorado por IA para monitoriza\u00e7\u00e3o em tempo real e previs\u00e3o de exacerba\u00e7\u00f5es da DPOC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O baf\u00f3metro medir\u00e1 as propriedades \u00f3pticas dos biomarcadores da doen\u00e7a na respira\u00e7\u00e3o dos pacientes, detectando altera\u00e7\u00f5es m\u00ednimas com alta sensibilidade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
