PEF Remote Monitoring

A healthcare professional will assess whether PEF remote monitoring is suitable for you. If it is, you will get access to the Orla Etämittaus phone application and a digital PEF meter. You can use them to perform PEF measurements according to the measurement program defined for you by the nurse, or whenever you have symptoms. It is easy to carry the meter with you, and you can perform high-quality asthma monitoring regardless of your location. The results of the measurements you take are transmitted to a healthcare professional immediately after the measurement, and they can monitor the progress of the measurement program and contact you if necessary. At the end of the measurement program, a healthcare professional interprets the measurement results and decides on further measures based on them.

The mobile application reminds you of measurements according to the measurement program, guides you to perform the measurements, and shows you the measurement results. You can also describe the cause of the symptoms during symptom measurements, if known.

If you have work-related asthma, the application uses a measurement program specially designed for monitoring and diagnosing work-related asthma, so you can report which working area and exposure agent your symptoms are related to.
