As chronic diseases, including respiratory diseases, become more prevalent, healthcare costs are rising. The ability to characterise individuals in order to treat and prevent disease based on individual predisposition, will be increasingly valuable.

Personalised respiratory medicine is an exciting and evolving field. This year's ERS Congress showcases the latest information in personalised respiratory medicine through a variety of sessions, courses, hot topic sessions and a symposium – touching on topics such as endotyping, molecular phenotyping and nutrition and respiratory health.

The MyAirCoach project is aiming in this direction through the use of modern sensing devices and innovative decision support methodologies that will help both patients and doctors to take control of asthma disease.
