It’s no secret the pandemic has played a hand in changing the way clinical trials are conducted - starting with the abrupt shift to hybrid models. However, this shift has naturally progressed long before the pandemic due to the challenges that plague traditional clinical research models. Today, the majority of our clinical research customers are utilizing a hybrid model for a few reasons that we’ll share in this article, and we’ll explore how the ZEPHYRx Spirometry CloudPlatform has evolved to help advance hybrid clinical research.

Remote patient monitoring (RPM) is quickly becoming the new standard of care and an invaluable tool for population health challenges like chronic disease management. And with 260M+ people diagnosed with asthma worldwide and $82 billion in healthcare costs in the US alone, this is a good area to dive in and see how RPM can help. This article will review at a high-level how remote respiratory monitoring (RRM) can be a powerful tool for asthma care management from confirming a diagnosis, identifying triggers, measuring medication effectiveness, timely intervention, and monitoring patients over time.

This guide provides an introduction to remote respiratory monitoring—what it is and how it can benefit patients, providers and researchers. It includes information about how to choose an RRM solution to deliver comprehensive care, increase patient adherence and make it easy and convenient to track pulmonary health.
