The key to good management of chronic respiratory illness, such as asthma and COPD, is consistency – measuring, monitoring and adherence to prescribed medication. Empowering the patient to take the management of their condition in their daily routine saves time and resources for the healthcare professional as well. With relevant and reliable data in an organized digital form, the valuable time on the doctor’s or nurse’s appointment can be invested in creating and updating the essential asthma action plan rather than sorting out inconsistent, often manually kept records and notes.
KAMU Asthma® is a new way of thinking respiratory care. It enables the patient to take a spirometry test at home and track their symptoms and adherence to medication with quick, easy-to-use and comparable questionnaires. Combining external trigger data to this patient-provided information, KAMU creates reports that help both the patient and their healthcare professional understand the condition better – possibly even predict changes and take action to prevent symptoms from occuring. Sharing reports in a digital form can save time and also enable better care remotely.
KAMU takes a holistic, adherence-driving approach to respiratory care. Regularly measuring their lungs at home with KAMU Spiro, and keeping track on their symptoms, triggers and use of medication, the patient can not only feel better but also provide a constantly updating anamnesis, which enables cost-efficient remote consultations. Spirometry with KAMU Spiro is automatically quality controlled, according to ATS/ERS guidelines. The service guides and instructs the user in taking the spirometry test.
The KAMU app has a built-in medication tracking to support most commonly used respiratory medications minimizing the need and work required for manual input. If needed, new medications can be added manually by the user or by the care professionals. The personal asthma action plan is always present, as KAMU supports the user in good self-care and drives adherence to medication. When the patient is empowered and motivated to keep KAMU in their daily routine, they are more likely to feel better and achieve a good treatment balance.
