Briota develops India’s first CDSCO-approved digital handheld
Spirometer Kit
Pune-based start-up, Briota Technologies Private Limited has developed SpiroPRO - Critical
care Home Monitoring Kit for healthy lungs. SpiroPRO is a home monitoring kit built to monitor
lung health conditions of high-risk patients for 62 actively verifying fever, other respiratory symptoms, and lung capacity which can lead to an increase in susceptibility towards the COVID-19 virus.
Briota is using AI and IoT technology for monitoring elderly and comorbid patients for their health condition. Its Home monitoring and Remote Support for Comorbid COVID-19 positive or COVID-19 high risk patients performs patient stratification for early medical intervention. This will eventually help reduce the case fatality rate of COVID-19. The Spirometer test can be performed with the help of a mobile software application which walks you through the process. Additional parameters such as for pneumonia, ventilation, respiratory rate, temperature, blood pressure, lung functioning etc. can be assessed.
Briota’s COVID-19 Early Warning (VIEW) system helps monitor and manage high risk comorbid patients. The VIEW score is based on a sophisticated clinical algorithm which will mature and become more accurate as the system starts collecting more and more data of the COVID-19 patients. It is low cost and made in India.
