MULTIPULM addresses the urgent challenge of caring for people with chronic respiratory conditions alongside other long-term diseases. 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 hospitalizations, and strengthen healthcare systems.
The integrated model brings together:
Early risk detection and prediction
Continuous home monitoring with personalized 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.
