COPD Foundation, Kaia Health partnership focuses on the importance of pulmonary rehabilitation
Miami & New York, NY (October 21, 2024) - The COPD Foundation announces Kaia Health as a new partner in the Digital Health Corporate Social Responsibility program. This collaboration highlights the Foundation's commitment to supporting innovative digital solutions to improve the lives of individuals living with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
COPD comprises several conditions, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema, and can be caused by genetics and irritants like smoke or pollution. The disease affects more than 30 million Americans and is the third leading cause of death worldwide.
Pulmonary rehabilitation is an important aspect of COPD management; however, geographic or logistical challenges can prevent people from accessing in-person programs. Kaia Health's digital-first approach helps overcome these obstacles, offering a flexible, accessible alternative to in-person rehabilitation programs.
"Innovative technologies are transforming the landscape of pulmonary rehabilitation, providing individuals with greater access to personalized care that meets their unique needs," said Jean Wright, M.D., MBA, CEO of the COPD Foundation. "By combining our expertise in COPD and advanced digital solutions, this collaboration aims to make a lasting impact on the lives of millions living with chronic lung diseases."
Kaia Health, a leader in digital therapeutic solutions, provides virtual pulmonary rehabilitation to people living with chronic respiratory diseases. By using artificial intelligence (AI) and motion analysis, Kaia Health provides people with real-time feedback during exercises, maximizing safety and effectiveness. The program is designed to fit into the lives of people with COPD, providing flexibility and convenience without compromising care quality.
Kaia Health's virtual pulmonary rehabilitation program offers:
- 24/7 access to exercise guidance using advanced motion analysis technology.
- Comprehensive care, including exercise therapy, guided breathing techniques and pulmonary education.
- Personalized 1:1 health coaching.
"At Kaia Health, we are proud to partner with the COPD Foundation as we launch Kaia Breathe, a digital solution that delivers consistent, clinically impactful therapy at scale coupled with engaging, habit-building technology," said Adam Pellegrini, CEO of Kaia Health. "By working together to bring innovative solutions to those living with COPD, we can help empower individuals to take control of their health and improve their quality of life."
