Clinical Investigation into the use of a personalised early warning decision support system to predict and prevent acute flare ups of COPD.

[Birmingham Clinical Trials Unit @Predict_Prevent]

The Predict and Prevent trial assesses the effectiveness of using a personalised early warning system to manage COPD as opposed to standard of care.
We very much welcome new Midland sites to join the trial. If you are interested please email [email protected].
