• Asthma and COPD are among the most common
  respiratory diseases in the UK. Approximately one
  in five people in the UK has ever developed
  asthma, COPD or another long-term respiratory
  illness. In order to help respiratory patients in
  the management of such conditions, home
  telemonitoring is fast becoming a popular
  emerging healthcare solution.
• As a chronic disease that causes reversible
  narrowing of the airways due to
  bronchoconstriction, inflammation and mucus
  production. Asthma continues to be associated
  with significant avoidable morbidity and
  mortality. Self-management facilitated by a
  healthcare professional is important to keep
  symptoms controlled and to prevent exacerbations.
• According to a recent study, more than
  nine-in-ten asthma sufferers have issues with
  their inhaler technique. With just 7 of people
  seemingly administering their medication
  correctly.
