Identify and manage the first signs of a COPD exacerbation

The key to reducing hospital admissions lies in the window of opportunity before an exacerbation becomes an emergency. Clinitouch provides this window by capturing subtle changes in a patient's condition through health questionnaires and vital signs.

A clear, RAG-rated overview of your patients helps you to quickly and easily see who may be deteriorating. This helps you to provide care where it is needed most, keeping them safe at home, confident in their care, and cruically reducing avoidable hospital admissions.

"I could look at my data and build a picture of what my health was like myself. I do feel more confident in managing my COPD with Clinitouch. I know what to watch out for and what to look for."

When we say our tech empowers self-management and saves hospital beds, we have the published data to back it up. Clinitouch has been used to manage and remotely monitor people with COPD for over 10 years, working across diverse clinical settings and patient cohorts to transform the standard of care.
