Clinical study Happyair

Lovexair Foundation takes a serious approach to working together with healthcare professionals, researchers and patients to provide safe and reliable care models and essential data.

That is why, together with our IT partner Persei Consulting we have tested our first care model in a clinical setting with measurable evidence-based outcomes and showed how the HappyAir model worked for healthcare professionals, patients & their families.

The first study was developed in 2016 and was carried out on a group of patients with COPD by a team of clinicians, technicians and researchers with special expertise regarding respiratory care and therapeutic exercises taking place in three university hospitals in Madrid: 12 de Octubre, La Princesa and Clinico Hospital San Carlos.

How was the study developed?

The study was carried out on two groups of patients and included a preliminary phase of 2 months of pulmonary rehabilitation in the participating hospitals and a second phase, in which the “test group” used the m-health HappyAir App over a period of 10 months (the control group received no support resources).

Patients were assigned their own therapeutic coach during this clinical intervention study to provide additional support and guidance on key concerns related to illness, as well as social or technical support. Throughout this study, they learnt to follow a daily personal plan for lung-care, better understand their symptoms, live active lifestyles, take their medication, and monitor their oxygen levels. Adverse events or co-morbidity issues were also tracked by their coach.

What are the outcomes of the study?

After a one-year period, the study showed that:

  • The m-health self-care plan offers patients an optimal level of self-care and adherence to their treatments and facilitates important feedback between patients & their healthcare team.

  • Patients held a very positive view of the model thanks to the continued support from their HappyAir coach, gaining confidence in self-care and displaying improved levels of physical activity.
