Delmedica Launches X-Halo: The Early Warning System For Asthmatics

SUNTEC, Singapore - March 31, 2015 - PRLog -- SINGAPORE; March 15^th  2015 – Delmedica Investments has introduced the first clinically proven device which allows asthmatics to track their own airway inflammation levels safely and easily at home: the X-halo.

Delmedica, which is devoted to improving the lives of people with clinically proven meaningful innovations in respiratory care, has already commercialised the X-halo technology for use in specialist & clinical research and is now putting this revolutionary technology on the hands and homes of asthmatic individuals and families. This gives asthmatics unprecedented control in tracking their airway inflammation levels.


WHAT DOES X-halo DO?

X-halo allows asthmatics to track their airway inflammation levels easily and quickly at home. X-halo warns asthmatics when their airway inflammation levels  become elevated, allowing them to take preventive action and make informed lifestyle choices.

WHY IS IT SO “REVOLUTIONARY”?

Because:

1.     X-halo’s ability to track airway inflammation at home is unprecedented
and

2.     X-halo gives asthmatics valuable information that significantly improves their ability to manage their condition proactively

WHY IS AIRWAY INFLAMMATION TRACKING SO IMPORTANT?
Airway inflammation occurs in all asthma attacks and in 3 out of 4 cases (when the inflammation is caused by bacterial or viral infections), the inflammation can begin to develop unnoticed up to 48 hours before the Attack occurs. In the case of paediatric asthmatics, 90% of attacks are caused by bacterial or viral infections.

(see appendix 1)

X-halo helps paediatric and adult asthmatics both in a proactive and reactive context before and after asthma attacks occur.

Using X-halo proactively on a daily basis allows asthmatics to know when their lungs are unusually inflamed and to take appropriate action.

Used reactively after an asthma attack, X-halo can help asthmatics to ascertain whether the underlying inflammation has truly been eradicated or whether it persists, threatening to flare up again.

HOW DOES X-HALO WORK?

X-halo precisely measures the temperature of the air in your lungs - called Exhaled Breath Temperature (EBT) -to within a tenth of a degree. When your lungs begin to get inflamed, your EBT rises and X-halo lets you know.

X-halo’s patented technology is clinically proven and widely accepted in the medical community. It has been used by respiratory care specialists and in advanced specialised clinical and academic research since 2006. However the technology was not available in a simple, convenient & consumer-friendly device suitable for  home use. Until now.

HOW TO USE X-halo?

X-halo connects to the headphone jack of your computer or smartphone and is operated by an app which can be downloaded from Apple, Google Play or
www.X-halo.com.

The app guides users through the registration process and helps them to take a set of introductory measurements that allow X-halo to establish an understanding of their “Baseline” EBT levels. Then, in subsequent daily measurements X-halo gains a deeper understanding of the users’ personal EBT levels and informs them of the state of their lungs via a traffic light system:

·       Green (“normal’)

·       Yellow (“moderately inflamed’)

·       Red (“Significantly inflamed”)

The X-halo app also features additional functionalities which improve users’ overall asthma management.

THE X-halo APP: COMPLETE ASTHMA MANAGEMENT

Regular and correct daily usage of X-halo will allow X-halo's custom-designed application to know the user over time and be used to identify trends and patterns, empowering asthmatics to make more informed and proactive

asthma management choices.

The functionalities of the app extend beyond airway inflammation tracking to

integrate all aspects of asthma management into the user's daily routine:

·       Asthma Action Plan upload

·       Monthly Asthma Questionnaire

·       Medication tracking

X-halo IMPROVES THE LIVES OF ASTHMATICS

With X-halo, asthmatics finally have a way to track the state of their lungs on a daily basis, at home. When used regularly X-halo can improve the lives of

asthmatics in many ways:

·       More informed lifestyle choices
(thanks to early warning of airway inflammation)

·       Peace of mind

·       Increased asthma control

·       Better asthma management
