Problem
Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), long-COVID, and other respiratory conditions often struggle with shortness of breath, limiting their ability to perform daily activities and impacting their overall quality of life. Traditional pulmonary rehabilitation programs require in-person visits to specialized clinics, creating barriers to access for individuals with mobility issues, transportation challenges, or those residing in rural areas.
Solution
FlexTogether delivers a virtual pulmonary rehabilitation program that provides personalized care and exercise classes to patients in the comfort of their homes. Through video appointments, patients connect with a team of physical, occupational, and speech therapists who are trained in managing lung disease. The program offers gentle and personalized exercise programs, including chair yoga, cardio, and qi gong, tailored to individual needs and abilities. FlexTogether aims to improve breathing, increase exercise tolerance, and enhance overall well-being by removing geographical barriers and offering convenient, accessible pulmonary rehabilitation services.
