Philips Healthcare | Asthma Solutions

For many of the 25 million asthma patients in America, living an active lifestyle requires proper treatment. Lack of compliance to a treatment regime can sometimes be a problem that could affect their ability to maintain an active lifestyle. As a result, patients increase the likelihood of airway emergencies that could suddenly take them out of action.

Creating solutions that make it simpler and more inviting for them to take treatment may be the best answer. That’s why we’ve focused on developing comprehensive solutions that make it easier for patients to remain compliant while sustaining their active and healthy lifestyles.
