SAN DIEGO, Oct. 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- ResMed (NYSE: RMD)
today introduced myAir, a new personalized therapy management
application for patients with sleep-disordered breathing. myAir
equips patients with the information they need to resolve basic
therapy issues so they can increase their comfort and stay
compliant. By providing well-timed support, education and
troubleshooting tools, myAir helps patients feel confident and
motivated to start and stay on therapy. Empowering patients to take
an active role in their health, myAir helps drive operational
efficiencies for home medical equipment providers (HMEs) and gives
them more time to focus on patients who need it most.
"myAir is personalized to each individual patient's therapy
journey – they can see important information about their sleep
therapy, make adjustments to improve the treatment experience, and
share their progress with family members and loved ones, all on a
daily basis," said Raj Sodhi, vice president, ResMed Healthcare
Informatics. "If and when issues arise patients receive the
information they need through myAir, allowing HMEs to focus on
other patients more in need of support."
myAir is a key component of ResMed Air Solutions, the
forward-thinking connected care solution for treating
sleep-disordered breathing launched earlier this year. With its
mobile responsive design, patients can access myAir from their
mobile phones and tablets, anytime, anywhere. The platform has been
designed exclusively for ResMed's AirSense™ 10 and AirCurve™ 10
devices, both of which are wirelessly enabled to automatically
deliver therapy data into myAir on a daily basis.
With myAir, patients receive a myAir score each morning
calculated from their therapy data, providing them with a quick,
snapshot view of their treatment. They can also click through to
see how their myAir Score was calculated from metrics such as usage
time and mask seal. Together with trend charts of the previous two
weeks, myAir makes it easier for patients to track their sleep
progress which can help them feel more confident and encouraged
night after night.
HMEs supporting patients using myAir can benefit from a variety
of coaching and reinforcement capabilities delivered via email
and/or text. The coaching tips are supplemented with compelling
video content as well as encouragement and praise – shareable in
social media if the patient desires – intended to increase
confidence and sustain motivation.
ResMed Air Solutions
myAir is the latest component of
ResMed Air Solutions that, together, create a comprehensive
end-to-end ecosystem designed to increase efficiency and treatment
efficacy by keeping providers informed and patients engaged. The
suite of ResMed Air Solutions directly addresses the pain points
for each stakeholder in the patient's therapy, including
physicians, sleep labs, home medical equipment providers, and the
patients themselves.

October 27, 2014. Learn more about
