Breathe Easy with Propeller Health
|
As an asthma epidemiologist, David Van Sickle was greatly puzzled by the lack of data he faced when studying asthma. David and his two co-founders, Mark Gehring and Greg Tracy, were inspired to create an affordable, user-friendly, and personally interactive device for asthma and COPD patients.
The Challenge
Cost Sensitive
Precise Data Tracking
Reliable Connection
The Solution
The Result
Simple, Easy Patient Use
Bluetooth Connectivity
Propeller Health created inhaled medications to provide insight to patients so that they can understand their worst symptom triggers through their own personal data collection. Reliable connectivity is vital when you are monitoring your health, so Propeller Health picked their module carefully. The device utilizes the Silicon Labs BGM121 Bluetooth Smart SiP module to produce a simple, yet sensitive, reliable Bluetooth device.
Using the BGM121, Propeller Health produced a small footprint, BLE functional, low-cost device for patients to take their daily dose while detecting their personal triggers. Propeller Health is working as a complimentary digital solution alongside the pharmaceutical drugs, by helping optimize when patients take them, producing an effective combination.
