Telehealth for Asthma: Smart Tools for Self-Care

February 27, 2025

Asthma, a chronic respiratory condition affecting millions worldwide, requires consistent management to ensure optimal health outcomes. The advent of telehealth has revolutionized asthma care, introducing innovative tools that empower patients in their self-care journey. Keva Health stands at the forefront of this transformation, offering cutting-edge solutions designed to enhance patient engagement and improve quality of life.

The Role of Telehealth in Asthma Management

Telehealth leverages digital technology to deliver healthcare services remotely, breaking down traditional barriers to care. For asthma patients, this means access to continuous monitoring, personalized treatment plans, and real-time communication with healthcare providers, all from the comfort of home. Such accessibility is crucial for timely interventions and effective disease management.

Smart Tools Enhancing Self-Care

Several smart tools have emerged, transforming how patients manage asthma:

  • Smart Digital Inhalers: Equipped with Bluetooth technology, these inhalers track medication usage and technique, transmitting data to mobile apps or provider portals. This ensures adherence to prescribed treatments and allows for adjustments based on usage patterns.
  • Mobile Spirometry and Peak Flow Monitors: Portable devices that measure lung function, enabling patients to monitor their respiratory status regularly. Data collected can be shared with healthcare providers for informed decision-making
  • Mobile Health Applications: Apps designed to log symptoms, track triggers, and provide educational resources. They serve as personal health assistants, guiding patients through their management plans.

Keva Health’s Innovative Solutions

Keva Health has developed a suite of tools tailored to support asthma patients:

  • KevaTalk App: A personal digital coach that helps patients navigate their asthma management plans. It offers daily check-ins, symptom tracking, and educational content to empower users in their self-care journey.
  • Remote Monitoring Platform: A HIPAA-compliant solution connecting smart medical devices to the KevaTalk app and the Keva 365 web platform. This integration facilitates continuous monitoring and data sharing between patients and providers, enhancing collaborative care.

Embracing the Future of Asthma Care

The integration of telehealth and smart tools in asthma management signifies a paradigm shift towards proactive, patient-centered care. By adopting these technologies, patients can achieve better control over their condition, leading to improved health outcomes and quality of life. Keva Health remains committed to pioneering solutions that empower individuals in their respiratory health journey.

Quitting Early: Cessation Tips for Young Adults

Smoking cigarettes is a common issue. According to research, it is more difficult to quit smoking when your body has been relying on this foreign stimulus for a long time. This research published in Addiction in 2021 monitored thousands of smokers between 2002 and 2014 and found that younger users are more likely to successfully quit for at least 30 days of abstinence. That’s because older users are more likely to smoke heavily and may thus be less encouraged to make quit attempts. Cessation is always a challenging process, but an earlier quit attempt increases one’s chances for success. In this article, we go over a few cessation tips to help young adults in this journey.
