Formally known as Asthmapolis, Propeller Health is dedicated to improving the management of asthma for patients and healthcare professionals. Despite advances in our understanding of the disease and the development of more effective medications, morbidity and mortality from asthma have not declined. Our understanding of asthma has been limited by a lack of timely data, and our inability to collect information about where and when people develop symptoms. Propeller Health is using medication sensors, mobile applications, advanced analytics and feedback to help physicians identify those patients who need more help controlling the disease before they suffer a severe and costly exacerbation. {http://propellerhealth.com/ 9/30/2013}
Propeller Health is teaming up with AIR Louisville, an initiative to gather and track data of inhaler use and environmental factors to better understand the correlation between air quality and asthma severity.
