Bridging Specialties™: A Patient’s Journey to ILD Diagnosis

Navigating the diagnosis of a rare disease can be challenging for everyone involved. In this interactive story, you’ll meet Albert, a retired construction engineer in his 70s, and learn about his journey with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a type of interstitial lung disease (ILD).

You’ll take on the role of Albert and make decisions regarding his actions, including which activities he pursues and what he tells his physician about his symptoms. Pop-up boxes throughout the story provide rationales and guidance for clinicians.
