Physician-guided parental use of the Ventica® System can provide a first assessment of a young child's lung function with a quantified interpretation leading to an objective assessment of asthma. The whole-night duration of the Ventica® measurement gathers the large amount of respiratory data needed for sophisticated analysis.
Parental use of Ventica® with their child allows for longer-term monitoring of their child's respiratory patterns. The score calculated by Ventica® may allow healthcare professionals to optimise asthma treatment for the paediatric patient, when complemented by other clinical and diagnostic assessments.
Measurement is comfortable for the child as Ventica®'s proprietary bioimpedance-based measurement is non- intrusive and performed passively while the child is asleep.
"Ventica® will allow improved management and care of infants and small children with chronic respiratory disorders, specifically asthma, in the comfort of the child's home. It provides a comfortable, easy to use, non-invasive and objective lung function measurement that empowers parents and caregivers. It also improves the physician-parent relationship by providing the most appropriate care for the child."
