This summer the EU funded project AirPROM has released a series of video interviews to explain how its virtual lung model to predict airways diseases work. The videos collect interviews with the project’s technical experts and key researchers, that will make the development of a physical airways model possible.

The videos were registered during 2014 ERS Congress by the project dissemination work package, where EFA is a part of.

The four technical expert video interviews zoomed into:

  • Lung imaging: how imaging biomarkers are taken from medical pictures and combined with flow simulations, into a 3D model of the airway tree. This model shows how the air distributes in the lung, to simulate the airflow.
  • 3D model development: through measurement techniques (to measure how the airflow behaves) to support the development of physical airways models. The 3D models that are are being created will accurately reflect the inside of people’s airways.
  • Computerised and mathematical models: this discipline will allow to understand how COPD and asthma may be manifested on common clinical techniques to create a picture about how a patients’ lungs may manifest in response to these clinical measures.
  • Data management and sharing: knowledge management of the Project consists on mapping and integrating clinical and experimental data generated by AirPROM with already existing knowledge and computerised models.
