BreatheSuite Inc., founded in 2018, operates in the healthcare sector with a focus on telehealth and respiratory care. The company's core offering is a fully virtual Pulmonary Rehabilitation program built on clinically validated protocols, designed to reduce COPD readmissions and medical expenses. The program provides pulmonary rehabilitation through exercise, education, monitoring, and self-management from a patient's home.
The company addresses a significant gap in respiratory care: fewer than 2% of COPD patients have access to Pulmonary Rehabilitation, and in the United States there is approximately one PR center for every 43,000 COPD patients. COPD-related costs for Medicare Advantage Plans and ACOs have grown by 53% since 2010.
BreatheSuite's virtual program has demonstrated measurable outcomes. According to the company, enrolled patients have seen a 64% reduction in 12-month hospitalizations and a 67% improvement in functional capacity. The program is reported to save $5,700 per enrolled patient annually.
