Problem
Up to 90% of patients using inhalers make critical errors in their technique, leading to poor symptom control, increased hospitalizations, and a higher risk of mortality for respiratory conditions like asthma and COPD. These errors result in reduced quality of life and increased healthcare costs.
Solution
Aflo Analytics offers a patented platform that combines a smart inhaler device, a user-centered mobile app, and a cloud-based data analytics hub to automate inhaler technique training and provide remote patient support. The platform uses sensors and AI to monitor and improve inhalation technique, combining this data with air quality and behavioral information to help patients manage their respiratory conditions. By automating correct inhaler technique, Aflo aims to improve symptom control, reduce healthcare utilization, and enhance the quality of life for individuals with asthma and COPD.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes patients with asthma, COPD, and other respiratory conditions, as well as healthcare providers, pulmonologists, and respiratory therapists involved in their care.
