Asthma and COPD are among the most common respiratory conditions in the UK. roughly one in five people in the UK has ever developed asthma, COPD, or another long- term respiratory illness. To help respiratory cases in the operation of similar conditions, home telemonitoring is fast becoming a popular emerging healthcare result.
As a chronic disease that causes reversible narrowing of the airways due to bronchoconstriction, inflammation, and mucus product. Asthma continues to be associated with significant avoidable morbidity and mortality. Self-management eased by a healthcare professional is important to keep symptoms controlled and to prevent exacerbations.
According to a recent study, more than nine-in-ten asthma sufferers have issues with their inhaler technique. With just 7% of people seemingly administering their medication correctly.
What is home telemonitoring?
Home telemonitoring can be defined as an “automated process used for the transmission of data on a patient’s health care status from the patient’s home to their health care settings.”
It can be used for patients living with many health conditions, but home care and home telemonitoring for asthma and COPD is becoming more utilised. The continuous rise and improvement in both telephone and internet technologies ensure patients can now measure their own lung function and asthma symptoms at home and keep the relevant healthcare professional updated as they go.
One such example of home telemonitoring is the Safey peakflow spirometer device. As both an affordable and portable option, this device can be used alongside an app and care portal for respiratory patients to then share their medical data automatically with their medical team, via the electronic platform.
Helping to cut down on physical hospital visits, this technology can also be used to significantly reduce the need for emergency treatment for people with asthma and COPD and improve health outcomes in the long term.
“We wanted to try and better understand the underlying biological mechanisms associated with outdoor air pollution and increased asthma symptoms, asthma attacks or medication use, as up to now they were largely unknown.”

What are the benefits of home tele - monitoring for asthma and COPD patients?
“The monitoring of symptoms, airflow obstruction, and exacerbations is essential to asthma management” and studies show that patients who self-monitor their condition alongside the utilisation of a written asthma action plan and regular medical check-ins have fewer hospitalisations and emergency department visits.
Other studies highlight that home care and home telemonitoring of asthma and COPD can result in “the early identification of deteriorations in patient condition and symptom control.” Using a wireless device to help monitor your respiratory condition at home can be a huge advantage.
As an FDA cleared peak flow meter device as well as being HIPPA compliant, the Safey peak flow spirometer is a handy device that can be hooked up to an online dashboard for instant, accurate information. Broken down, other benefits include:
● A convenient way for patients to measure their vitals such as PEF, VC, FVC and FEV1.
● An area for medical professionals to remotely monitor patients’ data using the handy care portal.
● The automatic analysis of data
● Unlimited patients can be monitored on one dashboard.
Estimated numbers suggest that 8 million people have been diagnosed with asthma and 1.2 million with COPD. Offering the potential to help such patients with respiratory conditions to predict exacerbations, reduce routine medical appointments and hospital visits, as well as helping to manage health conditions whenever and wherever required, it’s clear to see why the home care and home telemonitoring of asthma and COPD is on the rise.
