Parkway MediCentre taps AeviceMD for home asthma monitoring

The bottle cap-sized device tracks a child’s lung sounds continuously at night.

Parkway MediCentre, IHH Healthcare Singapore’s first ambulatory care unit, has integrated Aevice Health’s wearable sensor into a new home-based paediatric asthma monitoring programme.

The AeviceMD Monitoring System uses a bottle cap-sized device to monitor children’s respiratory health during sleep by continuously capturing lung sound patterns in the background.

The technology is designed to give clinicians more visibility into symptoms that may be missed during clinic visits, with changes flagged for review.

“Managing asthma in young children can be particularly challenging, as symptoms often vary and may not be easily observed during clinic visits,” said Kao Pao-Tang, senior paediatrician at Parkway MediCentre.

“With more continuous data, we would be able to support more timely and appropriate care for our patients and provide added reassurance to their families,” Kao added.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
