We’re thrilled to publish this blueprint for developing patient-focused respiratory diagnostics with @lifearc.bsky.social Accelerating the diagnosis of chronic lung conditions is key to improving #LungHealth and meeting the #LungGrandChallenges.
Diagnosing chronic lung conditions can take years, partly due to a lack of tools in primary care.

With @asthmaandlung.org.uk, we've developed a Target Product Profile (TPP) to guide developers in creating a simple diagnostic test that can be used in primary care.
