MULTIPULM Project

Integrated care digital-based interventions for multimorbid patients suffering from chronic respiratory conditions in Brazil, Serbia and Türkiye

MULTIPULM addresses the urgent challenge of caring for people with chronic respiratory diseases alongside other long-term conditions. In many low- and middle-income countries, patients face late diagnosis, fragmented care, and limited access to digital health support. The project delivers affordable digital tools and coordinated care pathways that improve quality of life, reduce hospitalisations, and strengthen healthcare systems.

The integrated model brings together:

• Early risk detection and prediction
• Continuous home monitoring with personalised feedback
• Tools for self-management and health literacy
• Better coordination between medical and social care services

Future Needs’ Role in MULTIPULM

Future Needs leads the project’s branding, dissemination, communication, and exploitation activities by:

• Building recognition – Developing a strong and consistent project brand and visual identity
• Connecting audiences – Delivering targeted dissemination campaigns for policymakers, healthcare providers, and patient groups
• Ensuring uptake – Supporting exploitation through business planning, and preparation for large-scale adoption, complemented by health technology assessment (HTA) studies that analyze current funding and payment challenges while identifying alternative options to facilitate the improved integration of healthcare services in the targeted countries

These efforts ensure MULTIPULM’s benefits reach patients and health systems long after the project ends.

Project Ambition

MULTIPULM combines proven interventions, digital innovation, and local capacity building to create scalable, sustainable care pathways. The project:

• Delivers digital tools for breathing assessment, sleep monitoring, lifestyle tracking, and wellbeing support
• Trains healthcare professionals and builds networks for peer learning
• Validates solutions in real-world settings to ensure they meet clinical, social, and economic needs

MULTIPULM Pilots

These innovations will be tested in three national pilots:

• Brazil – Expanding access to early diagnosis and coordinated care in underserved regions such as Fortaleza, Natal, and Rio Grande
• Serbia – Improving early detection and treatment adherence in hospitals and community clinics
• Türkiye – Strengthening preventive services and integrating digital tools into national platforms like e-Nabız

Findings from these pilots will shape future policies and care models worldwide.
