About the Project
Bronchiectasis is a chronic lung condition that was previously neglected for years. Non-pharmacological management for bronchiectasis includes airway clearance techniques and pulmonary rehabilitation. People with bronchiectasis present recurrent respiratory infections and symptoms such as sputum, cough, and physical and/or mental fatigue. These symptoms affect their quality of life. It is possible that digital health can support identification and recording of bronchiectasis symptoms, but this has not been investigated.
This PhD will involve investigating digital health in bronchiectasis, alongside the acceptability and preferences for its use from patients and clinicians. Findings will support the development of future applications that may lead in tailored treatments for chronic lung conditions.
Supervisory team
Dr Arietta Spinou has extensive clinical and research experience in chronic lung conditions, with a special interest in bronchiectasis. The work of her team has direct application to patients. Dr Spinou is a supportive research supervisor; former student testimonial "I’ll try and do you proud".
Dr Marco Davare is a physiotherapist and expert in digital health, with a special interest in the interface between movement neurophysiology and cognitive neuroscience.
