Tackling the silent epidemic of chronic liver disease through early diagnosis and linkage to care: The LIVERAIM project
Did you know that tens of millions of people across Europe are unaware that they have liver disease?
Join us for the first webinar in our LIVERAIM series, and discover how this groundbreaking European project is going to revolutionise the early diagnosis and management of chronic liver disease.
Our engaging panel of expert speakers shares why there is a pressing need for innovation in liver disease diagnosis in the face of this under-addressed public health threat. Diving into the current epidemiological landscape of chronic liver disease, the speakers briefly highlight the serious human and economic impact on patients and health systems, as well as discuss the critical importance of early detection, followed by efficient linkage to care.
Attendees gain insights into the latest advancements in diagnostic technology, including novel biomarkers and non-invasive tests, as the speakers explore how these innovations transform existing screening and diagnostic protocols. The webinar also delves into the challenges of health system capacity and integrating new protocols into daily clinical care.
The LIVERAIM project places a strong emphasis on patient empowerment; the panel discusses why personalized treatment and holistic disease management are pivotal in improving patient outcomes.
There are opportunities for attendees to interact with the panelists, and questions from the audience are encouraged. Even the tough ones!
