Thank you @NIHRresearch for championing research and supporting the SELF-BREATHE trial, which I’m proud to lead as Chief Investigator. Thank you, Ivy—your story is why I love doing research. Let’s keep encouraging everyone to #BePartOfResearch 💙 @KingsCollegeNHS @CSI_KCL

At 80 years old, Ivy took part in the SELF-BREATHE study, testing a digital app to help people manage chronic breathlessness. The app helped Ivy recognise the early signs of breathlessness and use practical techniques to manage her symptoms at home. “I’m a strong advocate,” she says. “Don’t be frightened to take part.” 🙌 Whatever your age, ethnicity, gender or background - you can make a huge difference to the health and care of tomorrow.

Breathlessness limits independence and social engagement, with psychological and behavioural responses compounding activity restriction. A multi-agency approach is needed to address modifiable factors and reduce the overall burden of breathlessness. bit.ly/3XlmwXa
