Breathing Better: Using Digital Innovation to Transform Asthma and COPD Care in Low-Resource Settings

In this episode of the podcast, I speak with Dr. Shereen Nabhani-Gebara, Professor of Oncology and Pharmacy at Kingston University and a leader in the EU-funded MULTIPULM project. We discuss how digital health innovations have the potential to transform the care of chronic respiratory diseases such as asthma and COPD, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. The conversation explores the challenges of delayed diagnosis, fragmented healthcare systems, and the rising burden of multimorbidity. Dr. Nabhani-Gebara shares how integrated digital ecosystems, including AI-powered monitoring tools, remote care platforms, and patient-centered education, have the capacity to enable earlier detection, proactive management, and improved outcomes. The episode also examines the role of global collaboration, the importance of adapting solutions to local contexts, and how these innovations could be applied in regions like the Middle East. A must-listen for anyone interested in digital health, global medicine, and the future of patient-centered care. 👉 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share to support the podcast! #LebanesePhysiciansPodcast #Pulmonology #COPD #Asthma #DigitalHealth #AIinHealthcare #GlobalHealth #HealthcareInnovation #Telemedicine #MedicalEducation #ChronicDisease #PublicHealth #Subscribe #MULTIPULM Website: https://thelebanesephysicianspodcast.podbean.com/ YouTube: @thelebanesephysicianspodcast On all Podcast Apps
