Wireless Spirometry & Self-monitoring with NuvoAir
Home Spirometry (NuvoAir)
Spirometry is a simple test used to help screen for certain lung conditions by measuring how much air you can breathe out in one forced breath. It's carried out using a device called a spirometer, a small device which provides data on lung function.
Conditions that can be monitored using spirometry include:
- Asthma - a long-term condition in which the airways become periodically inflamed (swollen) and narrowed
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) - a group of lung conditions where the airways become narrowed
- Cystic fibrosis - a genetic condition in which the lungs and digestive system become clogged with thick, sticky mucus
- Pulmonary fibrosis - scarring of the lungs
A clinician can provide a spirometry screen within the home, and send the results directly to a consultant, G.P or healthcare provider, wirelessly and securely.
Spirometry Self-monitoring (NuvoAir)
Regular Spirometry and symptom tracking can provide valuable information to patients and healthcare professionals about long term pulmonary health. Novel technology from Nuvoair, now enables patients with long term respiratory conditions to complete spirometry independently at home without having to attend a clinic appointment.
The Nuvoair spirometry device wirelessly connects to a smart phone, allowing patients to log information about symptoms and their triggers in addition to traditional lung function data. This provides healthcare professionals with a more comprehensive understanding of long term respiratory function and what effects lung health over time. This information can be used to help identify early indicators of exacerbation or deterioration, prompting responsive changes to treatment plans, with the goal of reducing the risk of admission to hospital.
All data can be sent wirelessly and securely to care teams at one click of a button, allowing for responsive remote monitoring and improved communication between patients and healthcare teams. Please get in touch to find out more about how self-monitoring spirometry could work for you.
