Research
Overview
Burnett's research is focused on preventing severity of primary disease processes and their potential co-morbid conditions. In particular, one of his projects assess the impact interventions, including exercise and nutrition, have on multiple organ systems in patients with cystic fibrosis.
Since improved cardiopulmonary fitness is associated with increased survival, he aims to measure the impact of improved pulmonary, cardiac, and skeletal muscle function in those suffering from the disease. In addition, Burnett partners with asthma stakeholders including physicians, school nurses, telehealth providers, and hospitals to help improve the health outcomes of asthma patients and reduce the financial burden chronic respiratory conditions can have when symptoms are not managed properly by patients.
In addition, he serves as Co-PI on a telehealth pulmonary rehabilitation intervention for those living with COPD.
