Up to 60% of patients with asthma or COPD use their inhaler incorrectly — and improper technique alone drives as much as 70% of the total healthcare cost of managing these conditions. Nothing in standard care actually measures how an inhaler is being used.
Synchronize Health's RPM/CCM platform closes that gap with the CapMedic MDI device, which tracks the specifics that matter — date and time of use, shake duration, inhaler orientation, and inhalation technique — the same details that determine whether medication reaches the lungs or gets deposited on the tongue and the roof of the mouth.
The device doubles as a spirometer, giving physicians objective lung-function data to track disease progression and adjust treatment. The chronic care team turns adherence data into personalized feedback and targeted education — not generic reminders — while the platform flags missed doses or suboptimal adherence directly to the care team for timely outreach.
Patients get specific, correctable feedback. Physicians get the data to know whether it's a disease problem or a technique problem — before it becomes an ED visit.
The device measures what standard care never has, so a technique problem gets corrected as a technique problem — not discovered as an exacerbation.
