“This study holds promise in how a multi-faceted intervention could assist health systems in significantly improving the care of the patients with advanced stage COPD in their home,” said Sairam Parthasarathy, MD, Professor of Medicine and Director of the Center for Sleep Disorders at Banner – University Medical Center Tucson. “The results indicate that patients placed on this advanced mode of non-invasive ventilation, combined with an in-home care program, can reduce hospitalizations and subsequently reduce healthcare utilization. This study is a good foundation to build from and to further validate.”

With more treatments available to them today than ever before, COPD patients are living longer after diagnosis. Home, portable non-invasive ventilators help homecare providers manage more patients with fewer resources, while allowing patients to live healthy lives at home.
“The results of this are more critical now more than ever, given the industry’s increased focus on the high cost of chronic diseases and the need to reduce the re-hospitalization of COPD patients,” said Eli Diacopoulos, Vice President and General Manager, Philips Respironics. “The use of Trilogy in this COPD management program is just one example of our ability to work with an innovative homecare provider partner to achieve a new kind of COPD care management model that connects and supports the clinician, caregiver, home care provider and the patient at every point along the patient care path.”
Philips Respironics is committed to innovating patient-centered COPD care management models. Philips is currently piloting a COPD care model that utilizes Bluetooth-enabled Trilogy devices and a tablet application tool to optimize clinician, caregiver and homecare provider coordination. This pilot is Philips Respironics’ next step toward connected homecare solutions for respiratory patients.
