Improving the Quality of Breathing Rehabilitation and Patient Outcomes Using Biofeedback Registration

Start Date:6/29/2021

Start Time:1:00 PM EDT

Duration:60 minutes

Medical providers are increasingly challenged with patients with significant respiratory compromise. Delivering effective exercise to improve breathing biomechanics and respiration, and restoring quality of life in this demographic has become more crucial than ever. Until now, reliance on the incentive spirometer has led to missed opportunities to deliver vital breathing exercises. Now, a first-of-its kind breathing therapy biofeedback system combines an airflow sensor with a state-of-the-art virtual environment so patients can engage in interactive breathing exercises. The result is, greater patient motivation during therapy and valuable data for clinicians that drive improved treatment planning and patient outcomes.

If you are a rehabilitation therapist (PT, OT, SLP), respiratory therapist, nurse, or healthcare executive, you don’t want to miss this opportunity to learn more about how the new OmniFlow™ Breathing Therapy Biofeedback System can help you deliver engaging breathing exercises to your patients and improve their quality of life.
