Abstract:
Patients with chronic disease must balance the stress and responsibility of managing their illness amidst the requirements of everyday life. This is a significant burden that has been recently recognized as competing with efforts towards optimal care management. Here we propose that building reliable and useful connected inhaler devices can help to counteract this burden and foster better care management for patients with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Over the past five years, Propeller Health has developed inhaler sensors and digital engagement tools that enable reliable recording of inhaler medications and offer new insights and support to empower better management of asthma and COPD. Evidence is provided that the Propeller platform helps to improve outcomes for asthma and COPD across age groups and healthcare settings.
