Mobile Pulmonary Rehabilitation (m-PR) within the Perx Health Platform: solutions for chronic respiratory disease

My team have developed a mobile application in Australia called mobile pulmonary rehabilitation or m-PR which has digitally enabled pulmonary rehabilitation programs in both the home and centre-based settings. This application has now been commercialised with a company called Perx Health (as the Perx-R platform) to enable scale-up and implementation opportunites. m-PR was developed in 2020 and is currently being evaluated with clinical trial methodology. Perx-R was created in 2020 and is now available for implementation. Our intended audience for Perx-R is healthcare organisations that conduct pulmonary rehabilitation progams and need to support patients with chronic respiratory disease particularly in their home environment. Perx-R consists of a patient facing app and a clinican based web portal. The technology supports remote patient monitoring with symptom monitoring and physical activity monitoring, medication adherence, delivery of an individualised exercise program following face to face assessment, education videos as per standard pulmonary rehabilitation, health goal setting, health notifications, motivation/engagement built-in to the technology and many more features to support patients. There is a cost to licensing the Perx-R software with Perx Health.
