Partnership with innovative leaders in respiratory and pulmonary health advances delivery of mobile care
Dictum Health, Inc., a new medical-device company with cross-industry expertise to provide the next evolution in the continuum of care, announced today a partnership with Geratherm Respiratory GmbH, an internationally recognized supplier of respiratory and cardiopulmonary devices and technologies. Dictum Health will incorporate Geratherm Respiratory's innovative Spiraflow Sensor in Dictum Health's telehealth platform as part of its solution for cardiopulmonary diagnostics in the clinical setting and for remote care of patients with COPD, heart failure and asthma and during smoking-cessation treatments.
Geratherm Respiratory joins a selected group of Dictum Health partners to provide "Clinical Care Anytime, Anywhere."
Spirometry when used in remote monitoring of lung function for chronic-disease patients enables better and more efficient management that can reduce the risk of costly readmissions.
"Healthcare providers everywhere are seeking innovative ways to communicate with patients and care for them remotely. We're pleased to join Dictum Health in offering a comprehensive, team-based telehealth solution to achieve a new model of care," said Kunibert Schaefer, Managing Director of Geratherm Respiratory.

"We are fortunate to work with partners like Geratherm Respiratory to achieve the best possible solutions in the clinical setting and home care for clinically accurate diagnoses."
