Chronic Disease Management

The Propeller digital health platform consists of inhaler sensors, a patient mobile app or web portal, a clinician portal for provider monitoring as well as support and coaching. These components seamlessly integrate with one another to improve outcomes for patients and healthcare providers. Learn more about each component of our platform below.

Inhaler Sensors: Propeller's sensors attach to patients’ existing inhalers and work with the majority of inhalers on the market. This includes sensors for MDI, Respimat®, Diskus®, Ellipta® and Symbicort® medications. Sensors automatically track how often patients use their medication and send audio reminders when it’s time to take a dose. 

Respimat is a registered trademark of Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Diskus and Ellipta are registered trademarks of the GlaxoSmithKline group of companies. Symbicort is a registered trademark of the AstraZeneca group of companies.

Mobile App & Web Portal: The inhaler sensors send information wirelessly to an app on the patient’s smartphone or to a web portal with their unique login. Over time, the app learns about their symptoms and medication use (including when, where and how often) and can help patients identify their triggers. In addition to monthly trend reports, the app also provides a daily outlook for patients to plan for the day (based on weather and air quality), personalized tips and education content to help them learn about and manage their condition.

Clinician Portal: Our Clinician Portal allows physicians and clinical staff to remotely monitor and view reports about patients’ rescue medication usage, adherence, symptoms and triggers as well as monthly Asthma Control Test (ACT) or COPD Assessment Test (CAT) scores. Providers can use this information to adjust treatment plans. Between visits, providers can choose to receive notifications when patients have not been compliant with controller medication or when rescue medication use increases significantly, helping them identify patients who are at a greater risk for an exacerbation. 

Patient and Provider Support: The Propeller platform also includes service and support from an international consumer experience team, such as on-call health coaching to support users through their clinical journey. From patient to provider inquiries, our support team is available to provide answers via phone, email or chat.
