Asthma:
- Good asthma management is largely a function of compliance with prescribed drug regimen coupled with proper inhalation
technique of metered dose or dry powder inhalers (MDI-DPI). MDI's are difficult to use and studies demonstrate that the
majority of respiratory patients are either non-compliant or have improper technique or both. Improper technique results
in reduced drug delivery or none at all.
- LifeLink Monitoring's MDILog-DPILog records, stores, and wirelessly downloads both compliance and technique data for remote
web access by physician, case manager, patient, payer, caregiver, or anyone with secure access.
- Case managers can for the first time know what the patient doesn’t know or understand and can focus patient education
efforts where they belong.
- LifeLink Monitoring provides the only compliance/technique monitoring capability available anywhere in the market through
its patented MDILog and DPILog thus providing comliance and technique data.
- Through the same process, LifeLink Monitoring's SpiroLog provides lung function data for Peak Expiratory Flow and FEV1
(with customizable alerts for pre-emptive intervention.)
- How It Works: Patients download data daily in the convenience of their home using standard telephone/LifeLink Monitoring
hub. LifeLink Monitoring provides devices, delivery, and simple installation instructions to the patient.
- Patients: Quality of life improves because patients are connected to their caregivers. Objective measurement gives
empowering confidence to their ability to manage their chronic state. Compliance goes up.
- Physicians: Hard data enables better, more informed decision making.
- Health Plans: Substantially lower utilization costs result through fewer ER visits and hospital admissions.
Case management staff to patient ratios can increase up to 1:200 or more. ROI 2.5x – 4x.
- Home Health: Telehealth permits better care delivery, fewer visits, and better nurse to patient ratios.
