Company description

Remote Monitoring Asthma using IoT. Asthma is a complex disease and there are multiple triggers both environmental and psychological, which can cause inflammation or allergic reaction within the airways resulting in an attack. These triggers are unique to each patient and exposure can change depending on the season, the patient’s location, weather & personal circumstances. Increasingly, the impact of air quality is being identified as affecting asthma. Lack of information for patient self-management, imperfect adherence in taking medication, and reliance on fallible patient memory at doctors’ surgeries, results in sub-optimal asthma control. Overall, this leads to increase in oral corticosteroid use, acute exacerbations, hospital admissions and mortality. Ultimately, lack of real and timely information results in greater costs to the health care system, patients who have acute exacerbations of asthma costing 3.5 times as much as those who don't. By remotely capturing the patients circumstancial and environmental data, the QIoT connected, smart IoT technology and patients App can help to: • Support Asthma teams around clinical utility. • Add value when guiding Asthma management plans. • Creating more personalised Asthma care plans. • Identifying never before seen dangerous trends (allowing for early intervention). • Improve attendance at Asthma clinic. • Supports patient self-management. • Reduced hospital admissions and costs. • Deliver bespoke pollen forecasts helping reduce exasperations. • Over time, allow Health professionals to remotely manage more patient, freeing up valuable clinical appointments? • Increased days with no symptoms? • Better accuracy in predicting peak flow results. • Increases in FEP adherence and monitoring. By also informing patients when medication is running low, and measuring stress and activity levels daily, it a true solution to help both patient and health care providers manage effectively.
