Project

RAS-Q: thuis brengen van COPD-patiënten (HomeCare@COPD)

HomeCare@COPD will improve intensive care at home for people with lung-disease by using patient insights to enhance RAS-Q, the so-called “lung in a backpack”. The world’s first portable respiratory assist device for long-term COPD treatment, RAS-Q was developed with support from EIT Health. This project will make the product even better suited to home use.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a progressive, life threatening lung disease characterised by breathlessness and coughing. There are 250 million COPD patients worldwide, and it is the fourth most common cause of death, responsible for 3 million fatalities a year. HomeCare@COPD aims to take advantage of the innovative RAS-Q device to help improve all proccesses neccessary to increase quality of life for the COPD patient population.
