Asthma Signals, located in Woburn, MA, is a technology company
developing innovative software designed to improve outcomes in high-acuity, high cost pediatric asthmatics. The goal of
our ‘predict and prevent’ software is to significantly reduce children’s asthma attacks and subsequent ER visits,
demonstrating compelling value to children, families, schools, providers and payers.
Childhood asthma is epidemic in our society. Too many children with current diagnoses meet the criteria for ‘not-well controlled’, or ‘very poorly controlled’. Our technology can help.
We are beginning to pilot test our software with the Asthma & Allergy Foundation, New England, as well as select health care systems, plans and employers around the country.
The patent-pending software connects, empowers and engages the child’s care community to support healthy behaviors and adhere to existing asthma care protocols and best practices. The program leverages social networking, cutting edge technology, location-based trigger data and behavior change design principles. It complements existing disease management programs with personalized, family-friendly support that improves the connection between docotors and patients 'in-between visits'.
I am interested in speaking to health care executives with a propensity to test innovation. This includes:
- Medical Directors
- Disease Management executives
- Health Care Providers
- Organizations promoting quality, value and innovation
- Employer Benefits Managers
- Asthma Advocacy Organizations, and others.
Improving self-care (in our case... community care) is the next frontier in tackling chronic conditions. Over 100 million children suffer from asthma around the world; many are underserved. We'd like to test our technology on a small population of children and enable dramatic improvements in care
management and cost control through smart technology, patient empowerment, and
care community engagement.
If your organization has an interest in collaborating to enable our software to reach children in need, please respond to this blog, or contact cathryn_gunther@asthmasignals.com.
Thank you for your consideration. I am grateful for any
help.
