Really excited to attend fantastic ILD session this morning #ERS2025. Featuring a great talk by my previous lab supervisor (delighted to still get to see my name acknowledged on screen! 🤓). Underlying message from session was remaining need for magic drug ✨✨💊that can actually stop ILD progression

Interesting conversation with Merit CRO on the challenges in respiratory science: poor inhaler technique, lack of standardised data capture and data analysis. Cf oncology, the basics hold back progress. But strides being made by @europeanrespsoc.bsky.social and @atscommunity.bsky.social #ERS2025

Almost 70 years since the first widely used inhaler and correct usage hovers around 30%. We need to develop patient-centric devices if we want better patient outcomes. #ERS2025

Here at #ERS2025 scientists are sharing promising ways to end the #DiagnosisDelay including detecting conditions from your voice!

Spirometry is not enough to diagnose COPD. A found 50% of people with symptoms consistent with COPD yet normal lung function as measured by spirometry. We need to develop better tools to address the #DiagnosisDelay #ERS2025

Fascinating presentation from Prof Daiana Stolz. COPD starts decades before symptoms. We need better trackers of lung function over time. Did someone say 'lung health indicator'? Our work with @ukri.org is seeking to create this and end #DiagnosisDelay #ERS2025

Claire shared that she hadn't smoked for 35 years before her diagnosis

Brilliant to see a session start with the patient experience: imagine being unable to walk and talk at the same time. That can be life with COPD. Here for the fight to change that. #ERS2025

Great to be here with the @asthmaandlung.org.uk team. All the latest in respiratory science, allies in the battle for breath. Thanks also to the team that got us here! #ERS2025

This is what a lung with COPD looks like (right) compared to a normal lung. Fewer small branches on the lung 'tree' means it's significantly harder to breathe. #ERS2025

Huge advances in how we can identify which type of COPD someone has. The challenge is getting a diagnosis of COPD in the first place. #DiagnosisDelay #ERS2025

Factors other than smoking are bigger drivers of the global COPD burden. Urgent need to study broader factors such as air pollution. #ERS2025

We’re calling for greater recognition of lung health as a research priority. Everyone deserves to breathe clean air and access life-changing treatments. Join us in pushing for change! #ResearchMatters #AsthmaAndLungUK

Krisnah Poinasamy @krisnah.bsky.social · 13/02/2025

We fund cutting-edge research to find new treatments, improve care, and understand the impact of air pollution on lung health. But to truly make a difference, research must be considered a necessity of a modern, sustainable NHS.

1 in 5 people in the UK will develop a with a lung condition like asthma or COPD. Despite this, lung health remains underfunded compared to other diseases. Research is the key to better treatments, earlier diagnoses, and ultimately, saving lives.

Health research has the power to transform lives. At @asthmaandlung.org.uk, we see this every day in the fight against lung conditions. But progress depends on sustained investment and concrete policy interventions. 🔬✨ #HealthResearch #LungHealth

Innovation isn't accidental! The future of respiratory health depends on it. This piece from @wellcometrust.bsky.social highlights why bold, sustained funding in health research is essential. 🧵👇 bsky.app/profile/well...

It showed the tool [Gemini] helping a cheesemonger in Wisconsin write a product description by informing him Gouda accounts for "50 to 60 percent of global cheese consumption". How much did they offer the cheesemonger, such that he didn't raise a hand.

Do: Share how research and innovation will change the lives of 12 million people with lung disease. Don't: Accept the status quo. That's why we've joined BS. Do: 'Listen more' (The Bear). Don't: Call this platform BS and the other my-ex. Hoping to see fewer rockets and more Actual Intelligence.

People with lung conditions often have other long term illnesses, which can increase the risk of hospitalisation. For instance, people with COPD are at greater risk of a heart attack. publications.ersnet.org/content/erre...

Great to be a part of @amrc-uk.bsky.social and Richmond Group's discussion around multi-morbidity research, feeding into DHSC's 10 Year Plan.
