Alessandro Tognetti, professor of Bioengineering at the University of Pisa and Coordinator of the TOLIFE project, recently conducted an interview shedding light on the project’s progress.

Over the past 18 months, the TOLIFE project has achieved significant milestones. The team has focused on developing smart sensors and a data platform to monitor COPD patients’ daily activities. With pre-trials currently underway, the project stands on the cusp of transitioning from laboratory development to real-world application.

Looking ahead, the project aims to implement its developed technology in the field. By utilizing non-invasive sensors and advanced algorithms, the goal is to enhance the quality of care for COPD patients and improve their overall health outcomes.
