DAAB Launches Living Well with COPD to Ease Daily Struggles
The German Allergy and Asthma Association (DAAB) is tackling one of the most widespread public health issues with a new initiative. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) affects countless lives, causing daily struggles with breathing, persistent coughs, and limited stamina. To address these challenges, the DAAB has launched the Living Well with COPD project, offering practical support and active management strategies for patients and their families. A key part of the project is a free online seminar titled What Really Helps with COPD, scheduled for May 13, 2023, from 5 to 6 p.m. The session will be led by Prof. Dr. Marc Spielmanns, a Swiss internist and pulmonologist with expertise in respiratory conditions. Participants can expect detailed discussions on essential medications, their benefits, potential side effects, and non-drug treatments that complement medical care.
The project goes beyond a single event, providing a variety of resources. These include webinars, expert talks, podcasts, and actionable advice for managing COPD in everyday life. A core goal is to help patients grasp their condition, spot early symptoms, and work confidently with doctors to make informed choices. Registration for the seminar is open now at [www.daab.de/termine/online-seminare](www.daab.de/termine/online-seminare). The DAAB emphasises that COPD demands a holistic approach, blending medical treatment with practical lifestyle adjustments.
The Living Well with COPD project aims to equip patients with tools for better symptom control and improved quality of life. By combining expert guidance with accessible resources, the DAAB seeks to reduce the daily burden of the disease. Those interested can join the upcoming seminar or explore the project’s wider offerings online.
