Primary Care Spirometry
Bringing accurate lung function testing to the front line of healthcare
Primary care physicians are often the first point of contact for patients with respiratory symptoms. Integrating spirometry into primary care settings enables early detection of conditions such as asthma and COPD, supporting timely intervention and improved patient outcomes. Our solutions are designed to make high-quality spirometry accessible and practical within the workflow constraints of busy primary care environments.
Clinical Workflow
The primary care spirometry workflow begins with patient identification and contraindication screening. The clinician or trained technician guides the patient through standardized breathing maneuvers using a portable spirometer with real-time quality feedback. Results are immediately available for clinical interpretation, with automated comparison to predicted values based on patient demographics. Data integrates directly into the electronic health record for documentation and longitudinal tracking.
