COPD

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a chronic medical condition that inflames the lungs and obstructs airflow, making breathing a real effort. It usually develops slowly and manifests through symptoms such as a persistent cough (often with mucus), wheezing, fatigue, and a constant feeling of shortness of breath when performing everyday activities like walking or climbing stairs.

Although it's a progressive disease, early diagnosis completely changes the outlook. With proper treatment and a healthy lifestyle, it's entirely possible to alleviate symptoms, prevent flare-ups, and, above all, restore quality of life and peace of mind to your lungs.

How does digiiMED support your well-being?

Through its Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) program, digiiMED offers personalized COPD care that extends beyond the doctor's office, protecting your respiratory health every day of the year. To achieve this, the platform connects you to a digital pulse oximeter at home that quickly and automatically measures your blood oxygen levels, sending the data directly to the medical team, who then make regular calls to assess your symptoms and prevent complications early.

In addition, the system has immediate escalation protocols that activate if your oxygen levels drop or if any warning signs are detected, quickly notifying your doctor to ensure a timely response. Similarly, the program provides support tools and manages necessary referrals to specialists if you require comprehensive support to quit smoking, thus combating the main risk factor for this condition.
