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.

For years, sudden episodes of breathlessness would leave 80 year-old Ivy terrified.

Ivy suffers from Sjögren’s syndrome which is an autoimmune condition that has affected her lungs. It has caused scarring, and she suffers from a dry cough and fatigue.

Ivy also experiences episodes of severe breathlessness caused by the condition.

A routine visit to hospital led to an invitation to join the SELF-BREATHE study which led to Ivy regaining control of her breathing.

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. https://t.co/fMpsmjRHpI

More volunteers are always needed to take part in research – but it’s critical that they come from as wide a range of backgrounds as possible.
