This project aims to reduce the burden of chronic respiratory diseases (CRD) and their risk factors.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Project objective:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The \u201cJARED\u201d project is an extremely important initiative in which our institute has been awarded the coordinator role. The aim of the project is to strengthen the prevention and treatment of chronic respiratory diseases (CRD), in particular chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), across Europe. CRDs include, among others, asthma, COPD, interstitial lung diseases (ILD), and occupational lung diseases, all of which represent a significant public health burden. Within the framework of the project, a large-scale COPD screening program will be implemented, during which 15,000 high-risk individuals will be examined, with spirometry performed in approximately 4,500 cases. In addition, a post-treatment digital self-management tool for COPD will be tested with the participation of 300 patients.<\/p>\n

Summarising the Joint Action on REspiratory Diseases (JARED) project<\/p>\n

The Joint Action on REspiratory Diseases (JARED) project, coordinated by the National Kor\u00e1nyi Institute for Pulmonology (OKPI), is an international collaboration supported by the European Commission. In this project, 35 institutes working in field of healthcare, education and research from 14 countries come together for a common goal: the effective prevention and treatment of Chronic Respiratory Diseases (CRD). The main focus point of this project is based on CRDs of the greatest public health importance, such as asthma, COPD, interstitial lung diseases (ILD), and occupational lung diseases. But the emphasis is also given to lung conditions associated with certain infections.<\/p>\n

One of the main objectives of this project is to connect member states across the EU and enhance joint action to prevent, detect and treat these kinds of diseases. In the framework of JARED, several innovative approaches are also implemented, such as digital health solutions that allow patients to monitor and manage their own condition on a better way, especially in remote or disadvantaged regions. In addition to all these, the project pays special attention to disadvantaged groups, such as ethnic minorities and rural populations, who are often at higher risk from the perspective of developing CRDs.<\/p>\n

Other key areas of the project include supporting preventive vaccinations, reducing smoking, improving indoor air quality, preventing occupational respiratory diseases, increasing early detection of respiratory diseases, developing multidisciplinary patient care, and developing respiratory rehabilitation with a self-treatment support. One of the novelties of JARED is that it integrates lung cancer screening and COPD early detection programs, which make the treatment of high-risk individuals more effective.<\/p>\n

The project will also implement a large-scale COPD screening program led by OKPI and with a significant participation of Hungarian partners. During this collaboration, 15,000 high-risk individuals will be examined, of which approximately 4,500 will take part in spirometry testing. Besides, a post-COPD digital self-management program will be tested with the participation of 300 patients, of which development OKPI plays a prominent role.<\/p>\n

Filha has an important role as the coordinator and leader of one of the key work packages.<\/strong>
\nThe main purpose of this work package is to develop early diagnosis and treatment of chronic respiratory diseases. The consortium includes 15 units from 11 countries. Filha oversees the activities of these units to ensure that the objectives defined in the project agreement are achieved on schedule and provides guidance to participants on medical matters.<\/p>\n

In Finland, the activities carried out as part of JARED include:<\/p>\n
