FDA Clears 2 New Propeller Health Devices That Track Respiratory Meds
Summary
The devices can note the time and location for each use, information that is stored and wirelessly transmitted to a user’s smartphone or a Qualcomm base station plugged into the wall at home.The FDA clearances spell an opportunity for Propeller to help more patients take better control over their respiratory diseases; collect more healthcare data for care providers and insurers; and, of course, potentially bring in more revenue for the company.Propeller also added features with the two new devices, including a beeping noise and a flashing, multi-color LED light that alert patients when it’s time to take the medication, Van Sickle says.Its business model is to partner with hospital systems, health insurers, employers, municipal governments, and other customers, who pay for the use of the devices and related services by their patients, members, employees, and citizens.Propeller’s products have been used by patients through more than 35 commercial programs across the U.S., and the company’s clients include Dignity Health in California, the Wyckoff Heights Medical Center in New York, and the city of Louisville.
