COPD is a widespread, debilitating condition affecting over 300 million people globally, limiting their ability to breathe and live a normal life. Frequent hospitalizations and late-stage interventions result in reduced quality of life and increased healthcare costs. StepUp Health aims to change that by providing a solution that empowers COPD patients with continuous monitoring of their respiratory parameters, allowing for early detection of exacerbations and timely intervention. This has the potential to reduce hospital admissions and improve overall health outcomes.
Our team is developing a novel wearable device that continuously tracks respiratory health and other parameters, offering real-time insights and alerts to both patients and healthcare providers
