Description:
In Europe alone, an estimated 4 to 10 per cent of the population suffers from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). It is a progressive lung condition that significantly impacts patients’ quality of life and life expectancy. Patients with COPD often require various treatment approaches to relieve their respiratory (e.g., shortness of breath, coughing) and non-respiratory (e.g., fatigue) symptoms, as well as other accompanying conditions (e.g., diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, mental health issues). RE-SAMPLE will use real-world data (RWD) to monitor COPD symptoms beyond scheduled medical check-ups. Such information will give doctors, caregivers and patients a unique insight into common, day-to-day triggers that can lead to health complications.
Using Artificial Intelligence, RE-SAMPLE hopes to gain unique insights into the complex relationships between patients’ clinical and non-clinical characteristics, and how these impact disease progression, mental wellbeing, and physical health. The data and analyses will also serve as a basis for predictive models that could help patients and their doctors make treatment and lifestyle changes in time to reduce serious complications. To ensure that we can gather quality data and that our system truly fits the needs of patients, RE-SAMPLE will rely on inclusive design and a citizen science approach. Meaningful collaboration with citizens cannot be achieved without trust. One of our project’s hallmarks is the early integration of security and privacy settings across all technical (the system itself will be designed from this perspective) and non-technical (the project will adhere to rigorous ethical and data protection standards) aspects of RE-SAMPLE.
