App Profile: COPDsoft®

COPDsoft® is the result of years of academic and practical research and is the only software of its kind. It is intended for use by suitably qualified medical and healthcare professionals and by 'expert' patients under medical advice. It offers consistent, world guideline-based results including:

- COPD severity
- FEV1 percentage of expected
- BMI and BMI interpretation

COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) is a progressive and currently incurable disease. Patients need constant review and management to ensure quality of life and the best outcomes. To manage this most effectively, data needs to be accurate and consistent. COPDsoft® adopts current worldwide guidelines to ensure that the app conforms to the most recent thresholds for all users. Spirometry is the only effective way to control and monitor individuals. This is then used within COPDsoft®, together with individual lifestyle data to offer the current COPD status, together with any recommendations.

IMPORTANT: Any results offered by COPDsoft® do not override professional clinical advice. COPDsoft® does not retain any patient-identifiable data and it does not share any information externally to the app.
