Bezzy COPD 17+

As humans, we’re hardwired for connection. Belonging to a community makes us feel safe and helps us thrive.

But so often, living with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) can make you feel physically and emotionally isolated. Not only can it be hard to do things you loved before your diagnosis, but it can also feel like no one understands what it’s like.

Until now.

Our mission is to cultivate a space powered by the COPD community and empowered by each other. From one-to-one chats to conversation forums, we make connecting easy. This is a safe place to find and receive advice, to seek and offer support, and to discover the authentic stories of members, just like you.

Bezzy COPD is a free online platform bringing new meaning to the word “community.”

Our aim is to create an experience where:
- everyone feels seen, valued, and understood
- everyone’s story matters
- shared vulnerability is the name of the game

Bezzy COPD is a place where you are more than your COPD. It’s a place where, finally, you belong.

HOW IT WORKS

Social-First Content
Like all of your favorite social networks, we’ve designed an activity feed to connect you with other members living with COPD. We pride ourselves on making Bezzy COPD a safe and secure space where you can join live discussions, connect one-to-one, and read the latest articles and personal stories.

Forums
From treatments to symptoms to daily living, COPD changes everything. Whatever you're feeling on any given day, there's a forum where you can connect and share directly with others.

1:1 Messaging
Let us connect you with a new member from our community every day. We’ll recommend members to you based on your treatment plan, lifestyle interests, and needs. Browse member profiles and request to connect with anyone from our community with members listed as “Online now.”

Discover Articles and Stories
We believe that shared experiences empower the kind of belonging that can help people not only survive—but thrive—with COPD. Our stories offer perspectives and tips from people who know what it’s like. Get handpicked wellness and member stories delivered to you each week.

Connect Safely Anytime, Anywhere
We take thoughtful steps to build safety, security, and privacy into our platform and foster an environment where members feel safe sharing their personal experiences. Check and send messages, see who’s online, and get notified when a new message comes in—so you’ll never miss a thing.

Bezzy is not a substitute for the advice of a medical professional familiar with your specific needs. It's important to always speak with your doctor before making any medical decisions.
