Problem
Pulmonologists in outpatient clinics are typically limited to spirometry for assessing lung function, which provides an incomplete picture of a patient's respiratory health. Comprehensive pulmonary function tests (PFTs), including plethysmography, lung volume measurements, diffusion capacity (DLCO), and CO₂ monitoring, are usually performed in specialized pulmonary labs, requiring patients to travel and increasing costs. This lack of readily available, comprehensive testing hinders early and accurate diagnosis and monitoring of respiratory diseases.
Solution
TechnoPulm offers the STS system, a compact, handheld device that enables comprehensive pulmonary function testing (PFT) in primary care clinics, pulmonology offices, and telemedicine settings. The STS performs cabinless plethysmography, spirometry, CO2 / fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO), and diffusion testing within 30 seconds. By integrating advanced diagnostic capabilities into a portable device, the STS eliminates the need for bulky equipment and specialized labs, allowing for immediate diagnostics and monitoring. The device connects to a digital platform, supporting a respiratory telehealth solution that enables remote patient engagement and efficient clinical decision-making.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes pulmonologists, primary care physicians, and healthcare providers in clinics, telemedicine settings, nursing homes, and rural health centers who require comprehensive and accessible pulmonary function testing.
