Product Capabilities

Our sensors attach to patients’ existing inhalers, reminding patients to take their medications on time and automatically tracking medication use data. This information is sent wirelessly to a patient’s mobile app or web portal account, helping them learn about their symptoms, triggers, and medication use habits (including when, where, and how often they dose). Clinicians can easily access this important data, too — either by using the Propeller Clinician Portal or through an integration with their EHR.

Propeller takes the guesswork out of understanding patient adherence and disease control. Between visits, clinicians can receive notifications when patients have not been adherent to controller medication or when rescue medication use increases significantly, helping them proactively identify and intervene with their most at-risk patients, and enabling health systems and hospitals to focus finite resources on patients who need it most.

Propeller expands access to our platform and helps overcome literacy challenges through the use of appropriate reading levels for different audiences, based on the Flesch-Kincaid scale. Our platform, including our patient-facing mobile app and web portal, is available in 16 different languages. Additionally, patients without access to mobile devices or internet service can still experience all the benefits of Propeller with a cellular hub — a smartphone alternative offered through clinical and commercial programs. The hubs simply plug into a wall outlet, passively capture medication use, and seamlessly transmit that data to the patient’s provider.

One component of Propeller’s digital therapeutic platform is PropellerCare™, in which our patient success team ensures users receive personalized support and coaching to help them confidently navigate the platform, stay focused on their goals, and take control of their breathing. By surrounding patients with continuous support and care connections, they become more engaged in self-managing their condition and stay motivated to take actions that will largely impact their overall health.

Propeller offers patients two primary delivery options when it comes to engagement: a mobile app and a web portal (desktop or tablet). With either option, patients can view their medication use data on-demand, track their symptoms and triggers, and access personalized, educational content to learn more about their conditions.

In addition to personalized environmental insights such as air quality, the Propeller platform offers tailored educational content to help patients learn more about their conditions, personalized tips for self-management, and custom insights based on a patient’s medication use trends. For example, the mobile app can preemptively advise patients to consult with their providers when a significant increase in rescue medication use is detected.

Our suite of 10+ FDA and CE cleared devices cover more than 80% of all inhaled medications on the market. These devices/sensors snap onto patients’ existing inhalers, passively record medication events, and seamlessly transmit that data to a patient-facing mobile app or web portal for on-demand viewing.

When it comes to providers and clinicians, one of the biggest considerations we’ve kept in mind when developing our platform is ensuring that it is simple to use. Providers may not have as much time as they’d like to routinely check patient data. Our platform is designed such that there are several ways for providers and clinicians to receive critical patient data for clinical decision making, without the need to log in to another website or portal. For example, providers can elect to receive daily email notifications informing them of patients who are not adherent or may be overusing their rescue medications. For providers with an EHR integration, custom dot-phrases make it easy to pull patient data from their charts. At any time, Propeller’s clinician (and patient) support teams are available to answer any questions regarding training, onboarding, and technical support.

The Propeller Digital Therapeutic Platform can integrate into leading EHR platforms — including Cerner and Epic (via Redox) — making it easier for clinical staff to receive objective patient data and enhanced clinical decision support, all within their native workflows. The implementation process can take 12-16 weeks, depending on the program design and the organization’s governance structure.

Medical Brain possesses a sophisticated level of contextual understanding, built on a complete set of patient data from a variety of sources including both free text and structured notes from health system and provider EMRs, as well as feeds from clinical systems and RPM devices. In addition, the Medical Brain communicates with patients proactively and on-demand, capturing information about their current situation and conducts a clinical interview to capture the complete, holistic picture. With this multilateration approach, the Medical Brain understands the patient’s medical situation contextually and provides personalized, high precision clinical decisions in real-time.

Medical Brain seamlessly integrates with Electronic Health Records (EHR), including hospital and provider-based systems, as well as specialty systems and digital devices such as RPM. This integration streamlines data acquisition and analysis, and provider workflow, allowing for the efficient, timely and accurate use of historical and real-time patient data. With complete knowledge of the patient’s health condition, the Medical Brain delivers high-precision clinical insights to patients and providers for timely corrective action. Provider workflow is streamlined and interactions are recorded in the EHR and accessible to healthcare providers, thereby improving continuity of care.

Medical Brain rigorously protects patient privacy and adheres to HIPAA and other regulatory standards. It employs state-of-the-art encryption for data storage and transfer, conducts systematic security audits, and enforces strict access controls, ensuring that only authorized individuals have access to sensitive patient information.

Medical Brain engages users through naturalistic interactions, using advanced natural language processing technologies to understand and generate responses that mimic human conversation. This approach helps put patients at ease, simulating an interaction with a healthcare professional and improving overall user satisfaction and engagement.

Medical Brain is designed to handle a large volume of patients and growing volume of interactions to address large-scale population requirements. It supports scalability through robust cloud infrastructure and efficient data management, capable of maintaining high performance levels even as the number of users and the volume of data expand across various regions and healthcare settings. Our team of dedicated clinical professionals have streamlined implementation to enable rapid deployments which scale easily for providers and health systems.

Medical Brain keeps pace with the rapid advances in clinical care and in AI and healthcare technology. As new use cases are required, the Medical Brain team develops new clinical modules with evidence-based protocols and updates the clinical repository with the latest updates, including provider inputs, research, and evolving healthcare practices. This adaptability ensures that Medical Brain remains at the cutting edge of technology, capable of offering the most current and effective solutions in healthcare AI.

With bidirectional communication, Medical Brain facilitates synchronous and asynchronous interactions between patients and care teams 24/7. Patients can receive immediate support through the platform, whether it’s via messaging, video, or audio calls. This capability ensures continuous access to care, helping patients manage their health proactively, with the care team receiving notifications about any significant health changes.

Medical Brain provides extensive operational support for both patients and care teams. This includes logistics management, staff training, patient onboarding, and ongoing technical support. The platform aims to enhance clinician experiences by reducing friction in workflows, preventing burnout, and ensuring patients are supported throughout their care journey. Medical Brain’s comprehensive approach not only improves patient outcomes but also simplifies care delivery for providers, making it an invaluable tool in modern healthcare settings.

Medical Brain enables individuals to share real-time biometric and health data with their care teams from outside the hospital or clinic. This is done through digital technologies, such as wearables and mobile devices, that continuously monitor health metrics (e.g., heart rate, blood pressure, glucose levels). The platform allows care teams to monitor patient data remotely and adjust care as needed, empowering proactive and continuous care beyond in-person visits.

Medical Brain uses advanced analytics to identify patients at risk of worsening conditions or potential hospitalization. By analyzing incoming patient data in real-time, the platform recognizes patterns indicative of deteriorating health, flagging patients for timely intervention. This predictive capability supports early detection of issues, reducing the likelihood of critical events like emergency room visits or hospitalizations.
