Blog 9: Project Plan

Curing COPD


Issue:  The two main diseases categorized as chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases are asthma and emphysema.  Currently there is no cure for COPD, the only options to control the disease are a variety of drugs and therapy, and surgery in some severe cases.  However, drugs and therapy don't provide lasting relief and they can't undue damage caused by emphysema.  


Action Plan:  
1)  research COPD:  causes, current treatments, hypothesized cures
2)  meet with a physician to discuss possible cures
3)  formulate a cure or treatment or device
4)  investigate costs, longevity of cure, and sustainability of cure
