Review: “Using a special GPS-enabled device that attaches to an inhaler, Propeller Health (formerly called Asthmapolis) automatically records the time and location when asthma patients use their inhalers. This data is transmitted to the patient’s doctor, while collective data is available to asthma researchers and public-health agencies. It maps and tracks asthma symptoms, triggers, and the use of rescue and controller medications and other important events from any phone. You can also receive text message reminders when you forget to use controller medication, and review streamlined versions of your asthma map and charts on the phone.”

Review: “An app called Propeller Health (formerly called Asthmapolis) helps people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma track their symptoms. The app features a sensor that sits on top of an inhaler. The sensor tracks when and where the app owner uses the inhaler. This data, which is transmitted via Bluetooth to a user’s smartphone, could help patients figure out what is triggering their attacks.”

Review: “People with asthma can use Propeller Health (formerly called Asthmapolis) to monitor when and where they use their inhalers. A sensor fits over the end of the inhaler, and sends data to a smartphone, where users can see maps and timelines showing when they needed to use it. This can also be shared with their doctor, or pooled anonymously with others to help big-data analysts identify environmental hot-spots that trigger asthma—whether related to weather, pollen, or other environmental factors. Asthmapolis can also help with research: a trial in Hawaii is using it help evaluate the effects of volcanic fog, by aligning results against air monitoring.”

Reviewer: Asthma UK
Review:

"The Propeller Health sensor is a small device that attaches to the top of an existing inhaler. It can be used with both reliever and preventer medications for tracking symptoms and adherence respectively, with a record of the time and place an inhaler has been a text, push notification or email reminder if they miss a scheduled dose.

A randomised controlled trial of 495 patients assessing the Propeller Health Asthma Platform for reliever inhaler monitoring has shown that over a 12-month period reliever use was reduced, reliever-free days were increased, and asthma control was improved.
