At LifeMap Solutions, we develop mobile technologies that empower our users and our partners to research, monitor and manage specific diseases. Of course, we have a “vision,” and we are really motivated when others see it and share it.

Our work with Mount Sinai is discussed, along with the impact of Apple’s ResearchKit framework. We’re proud to have been part of the ResearchKit launch — it’s hard to overstate the importance and impact this will have on clinical research. As reported on FastCompany.com in April ‘15 “The next stops for Apple’s ecosystem, Tim Cook said during last month’s launch event, are the car and the home, but ‘perhaps the most profound change that iPhone will make is on our health.’” With over 50,000 health apps available to consumers, we see a need for solutions that aggregate and correlate information so it can be used as a common point of reference by patients, doctors and healthcare managers.

We’re excited to announce the launch of our COPD Navigator app. It’s available for free in the App Store. The COPD Navigator iOS app empowers patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) to better monitor and manage their condition. With COPD Navigator, patients can: Track data including symptoms, medication, and treatment adherence, and quality of life. Visualize data in easy-to-understand graphs to recognize patterns in health history. Avoid environmental risk factors with real-time alerts about local air quality and extreme weather. Understand COPD and its treatment better with educational content from leading respiratory program the Mount Sinai – National Jewish Health Respiratory Institute. The enterprise version of COPD Navigator is also available now. Built for clinical deployment, the COPD Navigator enterprise platform continuously sends patient data to care teams for clinical management. The enterprise version of COPD Navigator integrates with our Clinician Dashboard to give clinical care teams convenient access to patient data. COPD Navigator and Clinician Dashboard together provide a robust chronic disease management platform. Our first clinical care management customer is SuperCare Health, a comprehensive post-acute health care organization specializing in respiratory diseases. A customized version of COPD Navigator, branded in this deployment as SuperCare iBreathe, sends patient data to SuperCare Health’s clinical care team, enabling them to track data in real time and immediately respond to the health status of COPD patients enrolled in their Healthcare at Home program. COPD Navigator harnesses the power of mHealth to empower patients to better monitor and manage their condition to achieve better health outcomes at lower cost.
