Spirometry is a simple medical test used to help diagnose and monitor lung conditions by measuring how much air a patient can breathe out in one forced breath. The medical monitor is called a spirometer. Spirometry is performed by a trained nurse or physiologist in a GP surgery or during a visit to a hospital clinic. There is a Worldwide shortage of train...

Respiratory diseases are the world's leading causes of death and disability. 200 million people (4% of the world's population) have Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and 3.2 million die of it each year. Asthma affects 350 million people worldwide and is the most common chronic disease of childhood. A review of 40 different studies with 15,000 people, ...

**WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?** Whilst cardiac rehabilitation reduces the risk of death and future heart attacks and improves the quality of life for patients, only about half of those invited attended the group-based programmes that were provided prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. During the pandemic, many cardiac rehabilitation services were moved online or to re...

The pandemic has challenged healthcare providers around the world as they deliver care for patients with non-COVID-19 cardiovascular and respiratory conditions. By necessity, remote consultations have rapidly replaced many in-person clinics and assessments. In parallel, patients have also quickly adopted the convenience of medical monitoring in the home a...

Prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, recovery after heart surgery was optimised by engaging the patient in a rehabilitation process, arranged in stages: * Phase I at the bedside after the procedure. * Phase II as an out-patient * Phase III as a series of exercise workouts and lifestyle education classes over 6-8 weeks (conducted by nurses and/or physiotherapis...

"Asthma affects 1.1 million UK children costing more than £58m per annum. Aseptika's cloud-based technology supporting disease management (www.activ8rlives.com) is ready to be developed as a clinical healthcare management device. Our previous SBRI/Innovate UK projects shows that paediatric asthma patients, once referred to the specialist clinic, tend to r...

Asthma is the most common chronic medical condition among children and young people in the UK and an NHS priority (NHS England). 932,000 children in England receive treatment for asthma. It is the most frequent reason for emergency admission and the UK has the third highest risk of death from childhood asthma in OECD nations (Asthma UK). The current care ...

"Incurable respiratory diseases are characterised by frequent exacerbations (flare-ups), worsened health status, rapid lung function decline caused by infections (bacterial or viral), triggered by air pollution, cold temperatures or other environmental factors. Airway inflammation and increased mucus production result in deteriorating airflow, dynamic hyp...

17.5 million people in UK have long-term conditions, that through enhanced monitoring, could be better stratified to the correct treatment pathway, with resulting savings to the NHS and better patient outcomes. This project finalises development of a wristband medical device that enables constant monitoring and detection of exacerbation warning signs in p...

Respiratory disease is the EU's 2nd largest cause of premature death, resulting from years of a slow decline in health. Hospitalisation for 14 day periods become frequent as prognosis worsens - highly disruptive for patient and family carers. Self-management through self-monitoring at home, through patient/carer training and empowerment reduces frequency ...

Providing sophisticated security of information and data transfer to support the use of self-management solutions for those with long-term health conditions in their own homes.

Two SMEs will develop a complex system breadboard which will form the basis of several future devices for applications in automomous consumer health and medical monitoring. These require wireless device-cloud and device-device data transfer to simplify processes for the user and to enable a reduction in healthcare-related costs. The limitations of current...
