Mayo Clinic, Spire Health to Co-Develop Remote Pulmonary Rehab Program
– Spire Health and Mayo Clinic announced a strategic collaboration to integrate Mayo Clinic’s remote pulmonary rehabilitation program into Spire Health’s respiratory remote patient monitoring (RPM) service.
– Developed by Dr. Roberto Benzo and his team at the Mindful Breathing Laboratory, Mayo Clinic’s remote pulmonary rehabilitation program has been the recipient of multiple, multi-year grants from the National Institute of Health (NIH).
– The program, validated using randomized controlled trials, combines health coaching, passive monitoring, and guided exercises to help patients living with chronic respiratory diseases proactively improve their quality of life. The two organizations are expected to pilot this combined offering in 2021 with commercial rollout slated for early 2022.
