New Free iCOPDler© Video Training Provides Practical Knowledge on 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.
