Reply To: eHealth for COPD patient (BreathSuite) – Kansiri

[Tanatorn Tilkanont]

Thank you for sharing a very interesting eHealth project. This eHealth project gives value to COPD/Asthma patients to have a good quality of life. With good compliance, patients can decrease the chance of exacerbation, and also it can support the physician to make a good decision for treatment management. This is quite interesting on how the sensor works to detect the compliance of inhaler users. This project may develop with other equipments, such as Turbuhaler. I believe that if the hospital is going to implement this application, the benefit would weighed-out more for BreathSuite, instead of having the patient enroll for pulmonary complications. The patient could saved costs for additional treatment and hospitalization.
