Redefining Standards in COPD Innovation: Best Practices from the DIGILUNG Ecosystem

As the European-funded DIGILUNG project approaches its conclusion on 31 August 2026, we invite you to a final webinar that reflects on the journey, impact, and future potential of DIGILUNG.

This webinar brings together project partners, collaborators, healthcare innovators, and policy stakeholders to:

• Introduce and recap the DIGILUNG project  and its core objectives

• Share key results, best practices, and lessons learned from implementation

• Discuss the impact of DIGILUNG on digital lung health, innovation ecosystems, and end users

• Explore future directions and sustainability beyond the project’s lifetime

In addition to the DIGILUNG consortium, the webinar will feature contributions from Atride, moveUP, and Cognuse, who will share their perspectives and experiences within the project. External experts will also join the discussion, offering independent insights into the project’s outcomes and broader relevance for European health innovation.
