Dignity Health – Woodland Healthcare project begins enrolling patients.

Just in time for allergy season in Sacramento, our project with Dignity Health Care in the company’s Woodland Healthcare campus has begun enrolling patients. The study is part of the organization’s comprehensive and integrated clinical care model created to improve the lives of adults and children with chronic disease by reducing cost, expanding access, and improving quality of care.

Dr. Rajan Merchant, the principal investigator, was interviewed on several local newscasts about the launch of the project. He noted that use of the inhaler sensor would allow patients and their doctors to learn whether asthma attacks were happening more with certain activities, in certain locations, and on certain days, allowing them to be able to adjust medications as needed.
