Funded Activity Summary

Cystic Fibrosis (CF), the most common lethal inherited disorder effecting Australians, is a medical success story, with survival increasing from 5 years in 1970 to 40 years now. However, lower respiratory tract infections remain the major problem in CF. This project will develop and test a simple, non-invasive device to detect early chest infections, allowing early treatment, improving quality of life and preventing lung scarring. Less hospitalisations will benefit both patients and hospitals.
