Aluna (digital spirometer)

2022: Device Announcement

At the end of October 2022, the medical startup Aluna released a home device to monitor lung function in asthma and. COPD The device is easy to use, the patient is required to blow into it daily, and the developers suggest that the technology will be similar to the blood glucose tests that diabetic patients use to track their condition.

Regular monitoring of lung conditions allows for early-stage measures, similar to monitoring blood glucose levels in diabetic patients. Patients and physicians can see the effectiveness of their treatment plan and change it based on a full understanding of lung health. Aluna's goal is to modernize spirometry and make it available to more patients to prevent seizures and hospitalizations.

Aluna (digital spirometer)

In order to increase patient compliance and make the process more fun, computer games are also included in the system that encourage the patient to regularly use the device and share lung health data with their healthcare provider.

Aluna portable digital spirometer, certified, FDA which accurately measures a patient's respiratory functions and provides remote access to their lung health. It has hospital-level accuracy as well as technology that makes the machine learning patient feel as if they are being mentored by a respiratory therapist, which increases engagement. The device collects about information patients' use of drugs, symptoms and allows doctors to better manage the treatment of their patients outside the office. Doctors can now see if the drugs are working and start studying the patient's triggers to better manage lung health. There is a dashboard that allows the device and app to work together to collect a wide range of data (drugs, symptoms, environmental factors) for broad home health monitoring.

Aluna was originally created as a pediatric application, and as part of this direction, the developers created a game that encouraged children to use the device.^[1]
