BreathEasy will help vulnerable people with chronic respiratory conditions improve their lives through adapted exercises that enhance lung capacity. Delivered online in three languages, our free program combines live classes, exercise videos, self-check tools, and peer support. Breaking distance barriers, seniors worldwide can participate safely from home. BreathEasy reduces inactivity and isolation, prevents hospital visits, and restores health, social ties and confidence.
Millions of older adults with chronic respiratory diseases face a high risk of frailty and other health complications. Aging, repeated hospitalizations, and chronic conditions often weaken strength, mobility, and independence. Most lack access to adapted exercise programs that could extend life, prevent disease, and delay full-time care. Without chances to stay active, many decline faster and become more dependent - outcomes that accessible, evidence-based exercise can help prevent.
BreathEasy brings adapted physical activity, breathing exercises, and health education directly into patients' homes through a free online multilingual programme. With live classes guided by a coach, videos, self-check tools, and peer support, it helps older adults in vulnerable situations stay active, monitor symptoms, and gain confidence- turning isolation into movement and connection. Through small, steady actions, increase lung capacity, reduce hospital visits, and regain independence.
BreathEasy would transform how people with chronic respiratory diseases manage their health. In its first year, over 30,000 patients could benefit from free online exercise sessions that improve breathing, strength, and independence. The program aims for a 10% rise in both quality of life (measured by SGRQ survey) and endurance (measured by 6MW test). Participants learn to self-manage their condition and build healthier habits, while families benefit from greater independence of loved ones.
