Propeller Health
Inhaler sensors, patient app and provider portal
Stay connected to patients with asthma and COPD. Propeller allows physicians to treat chronic patients through innovative products that use connectivity, analytics and companion digital services. This combination allows the physician to personalise care. Propeller, which supports and informs clinical monitoring, is clinically proven to improve patient outcomes1, making it easy for your patients to stick to the treatment plans you prescribe.
How does Propeller work?
Propeller sensors
Propeller sensors attach to your patients’ existing inhalers. The sensors send information wirelessly to the Propeller app on the patient’s smartphone, and a helpful reminder alert sounds when it’s time to take a dose.
Propeller patient app
The Propeller app shows patients their medication usage trends and provides daily tips and education to help them control their asthma or COPD. If a patient’s rescue inhaler usage spikes, the app alerts them to schedule an appointment with their clinician. Over time, the app learns about their symptoms and medication use to help patients identify their triggers.
Provider portal and patient reports
The portal allows you to monitor your patients’ medication usage, symptoms and triggers remotely and creates monthly reports summarising that data. Between visits, you can choose to receive notifications when patients have not been compliant with maintenance medication or when reliever medication use increases significantly.

“Remote-patient monitoring makes earlier management changes possible. We can focus on patients who are having problems, foregoing the need to make time for patients who are doing well.”– Dr. Rajan Merchant, Dignity Health Woodland
“The ability to prescribe a maintenance medication with Propeller will make it easier for healthcare professionals to engage their patients in self-management.” – Dr. David Van Sickle, CEO Propeller Health
