Which data are made available through testing?

The data made available through our solutions include a variety of critical measurements and information, depending on the specific tool being used. Here’s an overview of the types of data that can be collected:

1. Lung Function Data (Spirometry): Spirometry is a common test that measures how much air you can breathe in and out of your lungs. It provides data on key parameters such as:
   • Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1): The volume of air forcefully exhaled in the first second of a spirometry test.
   • Forced Vital Capacity (FVC): The total volume of air exhaled forcefully after a deep inhalation.
   • Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF): The maximum speed at which a person can exhale air during a forced breath.
   • FEV1/FVC Ratio: The ratio of FEV1 to FVC, used to assess airflow obstruction.
2. Symptom Reporting: Patients can report their respiratory symptoms and triggers through the app. These symptoms are valuable for assessing disease control and progression.
3. Exertion Test Data: Data from exertion tests, which evaluate lung function during physical activity, can include weather, temperature, type of exertion, altitude, max heart rate, heart rate after exertion, FEV1.
4. Reversibility Test Data: Reversibility tests assess how a patient responds to bronchodilator medication. Data includes changes in lung function parameters before and after medication administration.
5. Customized Treatment Plans: The app can provide personalized treatment plans based on the patient’s condition, test results, and medication history.
6. Historical Data: All test results and historical data are stored in the app and Careportal for reference, allowing patients and healthcare providers to track changes over time.
7. Secure Data Transmission: Patient data is securely transmitted to healthcare providers, ensuring confidentiality and compliance with data protection regulations.

It is important to note that the specific data collected can vary depending on the patient’s condition, the type of tests performed, and the healthcare provider’s preferences. All data collected is used to monitor and manage respiratory conditions effectively, tailor treatment plans, and improve patient outcomes.
