Rimidi, a leading clinical management platform designed to optimize clinical workflows, enhance patient experiences and achieve quality objectives, announced today the launch of its new Respiratory Module, designed to give providers a more complete view of the patient in order to guide treatment decisions for those with respiratory diseases. As part of the new module, patient data from connected pulse oximeters and—via a newly announced collaboration with Teva Pharmaceuticals—digital inhalers will be integrated into healthcare provider workflows, enhancing respiratory care and population health management.

Over 500 million people globally suffer from respiratory diseases, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In many cases, patients with these respiratory conditions also have cardiometabolic disorders like hypertension, obesity and diabetes, which can create additional health complications and lead to greater healthcare expenses. Rimidi’s Respiratory Module, which complements the company’s full suite of disease modules, allows providers to comprehend the full picture of the patient's disease status both in the clinic and at home. As a result, staff are better empowered and equipped to make personalized, predictive care decisions and improve outcomes.

“Given that chronic respiratory conditions like asthma and COPD share many similarities with the cardiometabolic conditions that Rimidi already supports, such as the burden of daily home self-management and complex treatment guidelines, launching respiratory as our newest disease module made sense,” said Lucienne Ide, MD, PhD, Founder and CEO of Rimidi. “Digital therapeutics, like the Digihaler® platform, are making new data available to clinicians in the management of complex diseases and we are thrilled to bring that data into the clinical workflow as part of our platform.”

“The digital therapeutics space is growing as healthcare continues to modernize, and our team is working hard to make the use of digital therapeutics seamless for healthcare providers and the patients they serve,” said Manny Montalvo, SVP, Head of Digital Health & Innovation at Teva Pharmaceuticals. “We’re excited to integrate with Rimidi and leverage our innovative technologies together to further fulfill our mission of improving the lives of patients.”
