Day one: Digital respiratory medicine – realism vs futurism - hero image

The European Respiratory Society (ERS) Presidential Summit 2021, ‘Digital respiratory medicine – realism vs futurism’, took place virtually from 3–4 June. The Summit sought to define the innovations that are realistic for digital respiratory medicine in the here and now, as well as those that are to be considered aspirational and futuristic.

On day one of the Summit, we examined the current digital tools that can be used in respiratory healthcare. Catch up on all of the sessions:
