Problem
Chronic lung diseases, such as COPD and asthma, are often diagnosed and monitored using in-clinic spirometry, but the underutilization of spirometry outside of office visits leads to delayed intervention and increased healthcare costs due to emergency department visits and hospital admissions. Patients with chronic lung disease need continuous connection to their medical team from home.
Solution
PulManage is a software platform that facilitates remote monitoring of lung function, connecting patients and providers to lower overall costs and increase quality of life. The platform includes a web portal for clinicians and a mobile application for patients, paired with a Bluetooth-enabled lung function device. The system transmits data, enabling providers to confirm obstructive patterns and stay connected to patients at risk of exacerbation. This continuous connectivity helps patients build self-management skills at home and enables providers to recognize changes in lung function between visits.
Target Audience
The primary users are clinicians managing patients with chronic lung diseases, such as pulmonologists and respiratory therapists, as well as patients with asthma, COPD, pulmonary fibrosis, and cystic fibrosis.
