Measuring chronic coughs, recognizing patterns and documenting progression: This is still a major challenge in the treatment of patients with asthma, COPD, pulmonary fibrosis or other diseases. This is where NELA comes in: As an innovative solution for cough tracking, it can help health professionals to collect comparable and, above all, objective data.
NELA is a combination of a cough recorder and the associated software for 24/7 tracking of chronic cough from home. Developed with patients and medical experts, NELA aims to make chronic cough objectively detectable.
We are working on approval under the European Medical Device Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2017/745) to redefine cough monitoring.
In the long term, NELA aims to support doctors and other health professionals in providing their patients with the best possible care. You could benefit from NELA in the following areas:
Diagnosis: Continuous monitoring, analysis and quantification of cough symptoms can facilitate diagnosis and replace difficult-to-compare and mostly subjective patient reporting with verifiable data.
Therapy: NELA provides objective data and thus supports individual therapy recommendations.
Prognosis: The data collected can help to make predictions about the course of the disease, to adjust therapies at an early stage and to avoid exacerbations.
Workflow: NELA enables remote monitoring and easy data analysis, helping to save time and resources.
To validate the efficacy of NELA and gain even more insights into the treatment of chronic cough, we are conducting studies. Improve NELA with us: Encourage your patients to participate in a trial.
The integration of NELA into medical practice has the potential for a paradigm shift in the treatment of chronic cough and its underlying conditions. Support us together with your patients.
