New Free iCOPDler© Video Training Provides Practical Knowledge on COPD

News 2025-361 EN

The DZL site BREATH introduces the new video training series iCOPDler©. This free and permanently accessible program provides patients, their families, and other interested individuals with sound knowledge and practical guidance on living with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).

The five-part series was developed and produced in close cooperation between BREATH, Hannover Medical School, and pulmonologist Dr. Meike Jungen. As an experienced specialist, she explains the medical basics of COPD in clear, easy-to-understand language, offers insights into proven treatment options, and demonstrates how those affected can actively contribute to improving their quality of life and positively influencing the course of the disease.

These videos go beyond simply providing information: they ensure that patients have access to a reliable, carefully reviewed, and high-quality educational resource. Family members and other interested individuals will also gain valuable insights to better understand and support those living with COPD.
