CapMedic

SIMPLIFYING RESPIRATORY CARE BY CORRECT AND REGULAR INHALER USE

CapMedic® guides you with the right steps at the right time to correctly use inhalers and track lung function at home, all in one device!

CapMedic® is an FDA-cleared Class II patented medical device. It captures physiologic measures of lung function and inhalation parameters.

Almost 90% of patients struggle to use inhalers correctly*

leading to majority of the drug not reaching the lungs. Unaware of how well their lungs are responding, patients often wonder:

"Are my inhalers working?"

We understand that inhalers are confusing, and measuring lung health at home was difficult— until now!

Study shows 3X better inhaler use with CapMedic*

26 asthma patients (aged 8-18) participated in the study. Patients who received audio-visual feedback from the CapMedic device demonstrated over 3X better inhaler use technique.

The control group received standard-of-care instructions from physician and the treatment group received feedback from the CapMedic device.

Key findings:
  • 90% of patients had at least 2 critical errors before any intervention.
  • Standard-of-care instructions on inhaler use had no significant improvement.
  • 100% of patients had a minimum of 3/4 correct steps with CapMedic intervention.
