Digital pulmonologist: in one “click” answers to the most frequently asked questions by patients

“Digital Pulmonologist” is an innovative platform where the patient can consult on the most common lung problems.

In particular, in one “click”, for example, those who want to quit smoking will now be able to get all the necessary information, in a very short time, in a simple and understandable language, without complex medical terms.

The digital pulmonologist was announced at the start of the Panhellenic Conference of the Hellenic Pulmonology Union, which is being held in collaboration with the EPE working groups from Thursday and ends tomorrow at the central hotel in Athens.

As noted by EPNL President Dr. Stamatula Tsikrikas, the Hellenic Pulmonology Union believes that there is currently a gap in the availability of information to the general public (especially for people belonging to vulnerable populations) regarding the most common chronic respiratory diseases such as COPD and bronchial asthma.

“Therefore, we have created a very a convenient platform for which neither pre-registration nor subscription is required, since it is free. By clicking on the link psifiakospneumonologos.gr, you can view and see the avatar, a hologram of a digital pulmonologist who will answer the 20 most common questions about chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchial asthma and the process of quitting smoking. There are standard questions, the most common and those that we know from years of work in our clinics, for example: “What is chronic obstructive pulmonary disease? Why do I feel short of breath? What treatment can I get for bronchial asthma? Is it possible to diagnose bronchial asthma in the elderly age? How does smoking affect my respiratory function? What is spirometry?”

According to the professor, within one and a half to two minutes, someone will receive much-needed information. The person will also be advised which specialist they need to contact with their specific problem in order to be able to find the right therapeutic solution.

“The benefit of every citizen who visits our site is multifaceted. This is primarily due to proper information and awareness. In other words, it stops the patient’s mindless wandering around different health professionals so that he can find out what his real health problem is and get a concrete solution. Thus it saves time and often money. it’s the same stops the phenomenon when people have full bags of drugs, but still cannot solve their problemsy. At the same time, savings are achieved in the health sector (medicines and human resources). Thus, in one click, a citizen will know where to turn and, above all, receive the necessary treatment.”
