Why include home spirometry in your study?
Richer Longitudinal Lung Function Data
Collect spirometry more frequently than site visits alone, providing a more complete view of lung function and treatment response over time.
Capture Changes Between Site Visits
Monitor lung function throughout the study to provide additional insight between scheduled clinic visits.
Reduce patient burden
Eliminates travel, improving retention and access for pediatric, elderly, and geographically dispersed patients.
Support hybrid & decentralized trials
Patients test at home on their schedule, enabling hybrid and decentralized designs without sacrificing endpoint or data quality.
Same Device, Same Quality
One Device. Less Variability.
The same validated Air Next spirometer and workflow across site, hybrid, and home visits.
Consistent Data Quality
The same validated spirometer and workflow across clinic and home support comparable data throughout the study.
Familiar Participant Experience
One familiar device throughout the trial reduces training and supports confident participation.
Simplified Operations
Standardize equipment and workflows across site, hybrid, and home designs.
Reliable Longitudinal Data
Measuring with the same device helps reduce variability when tracking lung function over time.

Real-Time Coaching
A respiratory specialist in every home
The challenge with home spirometry has always been technique. Strados solves this with an integrated telehealth platform, live video coaching that brings the expertise of a respiratory therapist directly to the patient's living room.
Improves First-Attempt Quality
Live guidance helps patients produce acceptable maneuvers on their first try.
Corrects Errors in Real Time
Coaches confirm posture, mouthpiece seal, and effort before a session is complete.
Reduces Repeat Testing
Immediate feedback prompts coached repeat maneuvers on the spot.
Minimizes Missing Data
App-guided prompts plus expert oversight mean fewer unusable or missing sessions.
Air Next Spirometer at Home
How it Works
Every Air Next spirometer session moves through the same standardized workflow, so remote spirometry data holds up to regulatory and clinical standards.
Instruct
The companion app guides patients through each maneuver with visual and audio prompts before testing begins.
Coach
Live respiratory specialists provide real-time guidance, correcting technique before poor-quality data is captured.
Assess
Patients perform ATS/ERS-grade maneuvers at home with immediate acceptability feedback on every effort.
Grade
Automated acceptability and repeatability grading flags substandard sessions in real time, not days later.
Quality Control
Centralized expert overread reviews data before it reaches your database, ensuring trial-grade confidence.
