Healthcare scientists comprise 5% of the NHS workforce; their work underpins 80% of all diagnoses. Respiratory physiologists, like Lucy, are vital, running diagnostic and maintenance testing, such as the six-minute walk to assess oxygen levels and heart rate during exercise 🫁🫀

Back at face to face ERS Congress after 3 years

“A pilot study of a digital 1-Minute Walk Test as a novel decentralised endpoint in pulmonary hypertension research” POSTER ID 1761 live.ersnet.org/ers/ers2023/en… PHA UK Aparito Health Royal Papworth Hospital NHS FT 💙 British Heart Foundation Garmin Lucy Robertson Mark Toshner Lots of buzz! #ERScongress 2/3

For anyone who may be feeling this right now

So, could the 6MWT be shortened in duration? In 102 patients with PH, the distance walked in the 1st minute (or any other interval) correlated ~perfectly with 6MWT distance, as shown 40 yrs before. We found ~identical results for 91 patients with #InterstitialLungDisease 4/10

Published collaborative work demonstrating 6MWT could be a shorter duration, which could be useful digital measure

Great to see our digital 1MWT research featured in mainstream & tech media this week: tinyurl.com/yz9tdytx - Engadget Dan Cooper tinyurl.com/2nv5mbt8 - BNN breaking Lucy Robertson Mark Toshner PHA UK Aparito Health Royal Papworth Hospital NHS FT 💙 VPD Heart & Lung Research Institute British Heart Foundation Garmin

A study has shown a 1-minute walk test could be just as effective as a 6-minute walk test when it comes to assessing #PulmonaryHypertension. But how soon could we see a change in clinical practice? 🎬 Hear from the study’s lead researcher Joe Newman: shorturl.at/hxzEH

Oral Presentations this afternoon being closed by Lucy Robertson Royal Papworth Respiratory Physiology - Could the 6-minute-walk test be shortened in duration and still capture significant oxygen desaturations in patients with ILD? - highlighting uses of a 3-minute walk test with a ILD population!

Presented at ARTP conf. #ARTP2024 Could 6MWT be shortened still capture desaturation in ILD? Our data suggests minimum SpO2 over different periods 6MWT had equivalent mortality prediction. 3 minutes of walking able to detect AOT SpO2 desaturation (< 88%) in majority ILD cohort
