Inspire highlighted in CNN article on coping with disease and disability in the time of COVID-19
Inspire was recently featured in a CNN.com article entitled “Coping with disease and disability in the time of coronavirus.” The article describes how patients with a range of conditions are coping with new challenges due to COVID-19.
In the article, Inspire Patient Engagement Manager Seth Rotberg discusses an increase in conversations about how covid is impacting patients. Specifically, he describes how “patients in Inspire’s support groups for lung-related conditions, including pulmonary fibrosis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, were concerned that COVID-19 might delay ‘wait periods and eligibility’ for lung donor and transplant programs.”
Rotheberg also reported patient concerns about how the pandemic would affect drug supplies.
Inspire is the world’s largest online health community, patient engagement and real-world data platform. More than 10 million people each year come to Inspire to learn about their conditions and find peer support.
