Designing next generation inhalers
During the webinar, participants will gain an understanding of how connected inhalers can help to pave the way to be a win-win situation for patients, the pharmaceutical industry and healthcare providers. Participants will also see how important flow inhalation measurement technology is in response to the most common mistakes while using an inhaler.
Respiratory infections continue to have the highest incidence rate in Europe. And when asthma is considered, there has been a sharp increase in global cases, morbidity, and mortality rates, as well as being an economic burden over the last 40 years. More than 300 million people have asthma worldwide. These figures demonstrate that despite the efforts of the past few years, the reduction of the incidence of asthma has not been achieved yet.
Connected devices – such as smart inhalers – offer a great opportunity to increase adherence and improve the quality of life of patients.
The digitalisation of healthcare can be beneficial. If carefully designed and thoughtfully implemented, digital health has the potential to improve health and care outcomes alike. Health information is fast becoming readily available because of the transfer of digital health data. As a result, higher-quality therapeutic decision-making as well as the mechanism and efficiency quality of health services are improved.
Presspart will present the latest development for their connected inhaler and demonstrate how the integration of a diagnostic unit into the inhaler could help to anticipate asthma attacks, aid therapeutic decision-making, and improve healthcare resource allocation.
