Reference for building the Care Pathway:

Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) - EUA

The GOLD was created to promote the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), with the mission of improving global health by providing evidence-based guidelines for healthcare professionals worldwide.

The organization consists of a network of specialists in respiratory diseases, and its guidelines are widely recognized and followed globally.

Caren has adopted the "GOLD Guidelines" - 2023 as a reference to structure its care line, enabling complete monitoring and consequently allowing quick and appropriate interventions, optimizing patient quality of life, and preventing complications.

Care Pathway for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

The care line for COPD patients is supported by an intelligent system that continuously monitors patient data, allowing early detection of signs of decompensation or respiratory complications. The platform collects information from assessment questionnaires, laboratory test results, medical consultation records, and respiratory parameters, cross-referencing this data to generate personalized alerts for healthcare teams.
