SOLUTIONS AREA

SHIFT CARE CLOSER TO HOME

With smart collaboration, care can happen anywhere.

Take Respiratory Therapy Mobile


Airway clearance is a daily struggle for people with chronic lung disease. Unfortunately, so is fitting respiratory therapy into their busy schedules.

When respiratory therapy and mobility come together, patients are empowered to take control of their therapy—and their lives.

Mobile respiratory therapy helps patients move freely, opening a new world of possibilities for doing their therapy their way. Discover how we’re innovating to give patients the freedom they want and the respiratory therapy they need to help:

"" MOBILIZE
MOBILIZE secretions to help improve airway health
"" GENERATE
GENERATE airflow to help thin and move mucus
"" CONNECT
CONNECT with care teams monitoring their therapy

Measure Compliance During Airway Clearance Therapy


Managing chronic lung disease takes close collaboration between patients and care teams.

Clinicians rely on patients to track and report on their airway clearance therapy sessions. Missing or incorrect details can mean less effective care plans—with lasting effects.

We’re focused on making airway clearance therapy easy and effective for the real world—sending accurate data to patients and care teams automatically.

Learn how we are helping patients and care teams make better decisions, better care plans and better days.

Detect, Diagnose and Manage Hypertension


According to the American Heart Association, nearly 1 in 2 US adults are hypertensive—and most don’t know it.1

High blood pressure (hypertension) is the number one risk factor for heart attack, stroke and kidney disease.2 But relying on a single, in-office blood pressure reading can be misleading.3

To better address hypertension, accurate blood pressure readings are non-negotiable. That’s why we’re focusing innovation on solutions to help caregivers and patients:

"" DETECT
DETECT hypertension in the office with automated, averaged BP readings
"" DIAGNOSE
DIAGNOSE hypertension with ambulatory BP monitoring outside the office
"" MANAGE
MANAGE hypertension to help reach target BP with readings at home
