Smart peak flow is a compact digital peak expiratory flow meter (PEFM) that connects to any Android and iOS smartphone. Using the Smart Peak Flow app, users can take and record their peak flow measurement in the comfort of their own home and share the results with their healthcare professional. The smartphone enabled device is designed to be used as a self-monitoring tool for those with a respiratory condition (asthma).
Peak flow monitoring is recognised as the gold standard in asthma management. Keeping accurate peak flow records manually has proven to be difficult, if not impossible. With Smart Peak Flow’s automatic recording and visual charting, users and healthcare professionals can finally say goodbye to unreliable data and paper charts.
Smart Peak Flow has simplified asthma homecare by bringing it directly into the hands of patients across the world. Using exactly the same technology as a diagnostic spirometer, the small device guarantees more accurate peak flow measurements than mechanical peak flow meters.
Whilst the ergonomic and light-weight design makes Smart Peak Flow comfortable to hold and easy to carry around, the user-friendly interface of the app makes it remarkably easy and intuitive to use. The device does not even require additional batteries to operate.
The app will ask the user to perform three blows and will save the highest of the three values as the result. After the test is complete, the user is able to manually save notes about their symptoms. Test results are then shown in a Chart view, where users can get an excellent overview of the progress of their condition.
