MyCOPD is a mobile app which helps people manage their chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The app includes a complete pulmonary rehabilitation program delivered in the patient’s home, including tutorials on how to use inhalers, to help patients who may be using them incorrectly.
Listen to Paul Quinn to hear his story of how myCOPD has helped him.
These films are specifically aimed at those with learning disabilities and carers but can be used by everyone to help them understand the bowel scope screening process.
The thirty minute film has been delivered as part of a programme of work to improve health outcomes for people with learning disabilities. The film is broken into short chapters, using simple language and pictures that talk through the bowel scope screening process.
The chapters cover areas, such as what bowel scope screening is, the importance of being tested, and how to prepare for the appointment. It also talks about why someone may not be suitable for bowel scope screening and the symptoms that could indicate early signs of bowel cancer.
