👏 Congratulations on the excellent @Nature article, @OSICild! We are encouraged by the progress, and proud to play a role in pursuing your mission in #ILD. linkedin.com/posts/ild-shar…

Thanks to Neil Savage and @naturemagazine for this article that explores recent advancements aimed at improving the diagnosis and treatment of lung diseases, and highlights how data from our repository is helping researchers better understand #IPF and deliver more accurate prognoses. With #AI enhancing imaging analysis, earlier detection and better monitoring of disease progression are becoming possible. Enhanced screening and AI-driven assessments are paving the way for more personalized treatments. Together, these innovations offer hope for earlier intervention, improved patient management, and a better understanding of lung diseases. We’re proud to be advancing #ILD and rare lung disease research, driving breakthroughs that bring hope to patients worldwide. nature.com/articles/d4158…

May this coming year bring you healthy days, happy weeks, and countless opportunities for growth and innovation. We're excited to see all the great things we'll accomplish together in the months ahead! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

New Frontiers for Progress: Catalyzing Breakthroughs in Lung Disease OSIC’s Annual Member Meeting is coming to Amsterdam! Join us on September 27 for an afternoon of discovery: - Bronchiectasis: The Next Therapeutic Frontier – How imaging, phenotyping, and AI are redefining this once-overlooked condition. Dr. Kevin Brown, Dr. Helmut Prosch, Dr. Luca Richeldi. - Sarcoidosis: From Complexity to Clarity – With Elise Hoover (Foundation For Research @StopSarcoidosis ), unveiling global registry efforts and AI collaborations. - Generative AI in Action – Featuring Dr. David Barber (@ucl ), showing how AI can predict disease progression earlier and build cross-disease models. - OCT Imaging Spotlight – Dr. Lida Hariri on in vivo lung microstructure, the “virtual biopsy” of fibrosis. - Exploring New Features and Advanced Filters in the OSIC Cloud – Sandra Stapleton (VIDA). - Member Success Stories – See how leading companies like @CorelineSoft , GMV, @ThisIsThirona , and @Brainomix are using OSIC data to accelerate innovation.

September is Pulmonary Fibrosis Awareness Month, a time to bring attention and support to the thousands of patients and caregivers around the world living with this chronic – and incurable – lung disease. At OSIC, we are passionately committed to making radical progress for those living with #PF and other #ILDs. Through the power of collaboration and innovation, we know we can get there. Thank to you all of our partners for their commitment to our mission. Join us in raising awareness this September. Together, we can accelerate research, enhance treatment, and improve lives. #PFMonth #CurePF #PulmonaryFibrosisAwareness #ILD

We’re headed to Boston next week for the 9th Annual IPF Summit! If you’re attending, please join us on Thursday, August 21 at 8:30 a.m. ET for our seminar, “The Canary, the Code, and ILAs: Generative AI, a Video Game, and the Future of Lung Disease.” Our Executive Director Elizabeth Estes @eec1968 will discuss what Generative AI looks like in lung disease, and how OSIC is rethinking traditional research models by using a video game to engage diverse contributors in annotating ILAs and advancing early detection. And please reach out if you’ll be in town – we’d love to meet up! Learn more about the session: lnkd.in/geQYc5cM #IPFSummit #OSICild #IPF #ILD

Did you miss our OSIC Innovation Hubs at hashtag#ATS2025 in San Francisco? This is your chance to catch up on groundbreaking insights that could transform lung health! Join Executive Director @eec1968 , Sandra Stapleton (COO, @vidalung), Prof. Martina Koziar Vašáková (Faculty of Thomayer Hospital), Dr. Jonathan Chung (@UCSanDiego Diego, OSIC Interim Radiology Lead), and Dr. Ryoungwoo Jang (@CorelineSoft Soft) for two must-see presentations: Presentation 1: From Incidental ILAs to Early ILD Detection with OSIC’s Global Database Learn how early-stage interstitial lung abnormalities (ILAs) detected in routine screenings can prevent progressive fibrotic lung disease. Discover the latest features of the OSIC Cloud platform, including advanced visualizations that highlight subtle lung changes, and hear vital insights from the Czech Republic’s national lung cancer screening program. Presentation 2: Finding Hidden Clues within OSIC’s Global Database Discover how we can detect fibrotic lung disease before it becomes visible. Learn how AI and advanced imaging technologies are transforming pulmonary medicine. Explore the features of OSIC’s global data platform, which now houses over 7,000 fibrosis lung disease scans, and find out how these advancements facilitate earlier interventions for high-risk patients. A heartfelt thank you to our speakers for their invaluable contributions on behalf of OSIC. Your passion and collaboration mean so much to us, and we are truly grateful. We also want to extend our thanks to everyone who attended. Connecting with you after the event was truly inspiring. We welcome all discussions about collaboration and partnership, which are at the heart of OSIC. Don't miss this opportunity to watch the presentations now! lnkd.in/ghYUY7VH AND stay tuned.
