Question

Do you think this a symptom tracker for patients with Asthma or COPD is beneficial? I giving a brief description and research on a software (tracker) application to track a patient with asthma or COPD. What is your intake on this?

Patients with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) should note their symptoms, triggers, and medication use in a diary. But it's a hassle, and few do. Propeller Health has a solution: a device that fits onto an inhaler and wirelessly syncs with a smartphone app to record trending data. Patients are then offered feedback and education on how to improve asthma control or COPD status. The data can be wirelessly shared with the patient's provider. "This device takes a disease such as asthma, with various components, one of which is environmental, and tracks when and how much a patient is using their medication," Dr Scher says. "It can tell you whether a certain locale is more of a problem than another locale, or whether a patient is using their inhaler more at night or during the day. If the patient uses the inhaler more at night, for example, it may indicate that their other medications need to be adjusted, or there may be an allergen or dust in the room, which could be a problem."
