About our project
The problem we solve: Other participants in the pulmonary disease market , can't readily provide a co-financed low-cost service model, that fully integrates chronic-care patients' needs with an educator/therapist guidance service via online, home-care and group sessions.
This service improves adherence to treatments, digital literacy, patient empowerment in low-income countries + pro-active engagement in research.Key to R&D in new therapeutics
Market size. Today, 60 million people suffer from COPD (Chronic Obstructuve Pulmonary Disease )worldwide. Total direct costs associated with COPD were approximately $40 billion in 2015 and are estimated to reach $49 billion by 2020. excluding other pulmonary diseases.
About our solution:
HappyAir includes:
• A novel platform to help patients manage their disease. Using an App, the platform combines a time-based healthcare strategy, a progress tracking system, medication and therapeutic treatment follow-up schedules. Its clinical validation will come from the trials currently running in Madrid.
-Clinical data management for I&D.
• Platform interactions with Internet of things [IoT] electronics related to chronic diseaase management. Device integration e.g directly registering pulsioximeter data to a COPD-management App, or electronic inhaler’s info recording and storing into the platform.
Active lifestyle: Happyair App is also integrated with GoogleFit fully registering the respiratory patient’s condition.
• Patient’s guidance and supervision through a designated educator, a qualified respiratory physiotherapist.
• Interoperability with other Platforms.
Progress to
date:Pilot study+ deployment strategy initiated with alternative networks and collaboration of network of respiratory related KOLs nationally and internationally
Partners Persei Vivarium are experts in clinical data management for multi-morbidity and R&D with cutting -edge projects in monitoring by pathology + standardisation in integrable native systems
Marketing and education programs have been tested in pilot introduction events and workshops ex clinical study.
Training of patient coaches will begin in 2017 with support from Kols who can work internationally in recognised Institutions.

Imagine for a moment what it means to live without air. Try holding your breath for a few seconds. Millions of people with respiratory disease, III leading cause of death, daily experience chest tightness, anxiety, poor mobility, not to mention the helplessness and social isolation that cause these diseases. However, it is possible to improve their quality of life with proper care and support.
Our model is holistic using ICTs and trained professional support to patients. No barriers to better care.
