Asthma

Remotely monitor wheeze and cough in asthma patients with the RESP® Biosensor

Asthma poses a huge burden on society and healthcare systems affecting 300 million globally, with prevalence and disease burden continuing to rise.1 Highly common in children, the disease is among the top causes of pediatric ED visits and missed school days.2

As clinicians and drug developers look for asthma monitoring devices to strengthen disease surveillance and insight into treatment response, continuous cough and wheeze monitoring offers a promising approach. Wheezing, a hallmark symptom of asthma and an indication of airway obstruction is typically observed only subjectively by patients or clinicians via auscultation. Cough is also a prevalent, burdensome symptom in asthma — especially in cough variant asthma — and a common early sign of an attack.3

The RESP® Biosensor, a wearable asthma monitoring device, offers direct, reliable metrics on cough and wheeze, providing enhanced insight into disease burden alongside patient self-reporting and pulmonary function tests.

Meet the RESP® Biosensor: The Most Advanced Asthma Monitoring Device

  • Clinically validated accuracy, with equivalent performance to Littman 3200 stethoscope.
  • Continuous monitoring of cough and lung sounds such as wheeze to offer quantitative data on respiratory symptoms in daily life.
  • Patient-friendly, reduces the burden on patients while improving clinician efficiency.
Certifications: FDA 510(k) clearance, CE Mark, HIPAA Compliant
Strados Cough Monitoring Solution

How It Works

An end-to-end solution for remote monitoring of lung health

RESP® Biosensor

Patient adheres wearable device to their chest; device continuously captures lung sounds including wheeze throughout the day/night

Strados™ Mobile App

Lung sound data collected by the device is transferred to a companion patient mobile app via Bluetooth 

Strados™ Cloud

Cloud securely stores data where lung sound events such as cough and wheeze are tracked and trended

Initial results from the study which took place at Ann & Lurie Children’s Hospital in Chicago showed positive feedback from patients and families as well as strong accuracy in detecting wheeze compared to physician auscultation.

Is the RESP® Biosensor reimbursable?

The RESP® Biosensor is reimbursable under RPM and RTM codes.

Is the RESP® Biosensor designed for continuous long-term monitoring?

Yes. The RESP® Biosensor was designed for long-term, continuous remote monitoring with the goal of detecting changes in lung sounds passively ranging from 4 – 24 hours per day. 

Which care settings is the RESP® Biosensor intended for?

The RESP® Biosensor is designed to be used across multiple care settings, including clinical trials,  in-patient, transitional care, post-acute discharge, outpatient, and hospital at home
