New York company Cohero Medical's device smartphone spirometer has recently received FDA approval. This Bluetooth-connected device measures key lung functions with a measurement accuracy up to the clinical level of the spirometer, which sends data to the smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth.
Cohero Medical has included lung capacity as part of the drug compliance trial at Mount Sinai Medical Center. Through the use of spirometers and inhaler sensors, Cohero can not only track the use of inhalers, but also establish a link to lung function.
The company's COO and partner Daniel Weinstein said the company tracks the use of controlled drugs while also tracking the use of rescue inhalers and the resulting changes in lung function. Through these three treatment combinations, we can do some cool predictive analysis. From a specific patient perspective, we can tell the patient about the adverse reactions, or we can say that the patient has not taken better, although he has taken the medication as required. Maybe the doctor will change the prescription accordingly. We can also do something macroscopically cool, and we can track whether a particular drug is better or worse in a particular subgroup of people, which is useful for the pharmaceutical industry. So we can get a lot of profit by monitoring the patient population of pharmaceutical company products.
The spirometer allows users to track their lung function at home, not only in the clinic, but also more accurately than the peak flow meter. The peak flow meter intelligently tracks the maximum speed of exhalation. The spirometer can track forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1), and the speed and volume of breathing over time.
