ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how eye examinations, combined with advanced technology, can help identify lung diseases early. Researchers want to see if results from eye tests can provide new ways to screen for pulmonary diseases, which affect breathing and lung function. By using big data and artificial intelligence, the study aims to improve the way doctors diagnose and understand these conditions.

To participate, you need to be at least 18 years old, or younger with a guardian's consent, and have a respiratory-related disease or be willing to take part in the study. You should also be able to undergo both eye and lung examinations and agree to follow-up visits. If you have serious eye issues or other major health problems that could affect your ability to participate, you may not be eligible. If you join the study, you'll have the chance to help researchers find better ways to screen for and understand lung diseases, which could make a difference for many patients in the future.
