The COPD Patient-Powered Research Network is building a large database of health information from people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and those at risk for it. By sharing your health information over time, you help researchers understand the disease better and identify new treatment options. The goal is to speed up the discovery of better therapies and eventually a cure.
COPD affects millions of people, but many questions remain about the best ways to treat it. By gathering health information from a large group of patients over several years, researchers can spot patterns and test new approaches faster than traditional studies allow.

You sign up online and complete surveys about your health history and current symptoms. Over several years, you'll be asked to fill out periodic surveys and may be contacted about other research studies you qualify for based on your information. You'll also gain access to resources and support related to COPD. The registry uses a secure online platform so you can participate from home at your own pace.
