Tabiat

COPD is the third leading cause of death worldwide and patients with COPD occasionally experience exacerbations where their symptoms are much worse. These exacerbations are a $15B/year cost in the US and unfortunately, exacerbations are often detected late and result in poorer patient outcomes, reduced life expectancy, increased costs and greater burden on healthcare. Tabiat helps doctors and patients detect exacerbations early through our AI based remote patient monitoring platform designed specifically for COPD. By tailoring specifically for the COPD patient journey and clinician workflows, we aim to ensure better outcomes with minimal patient and doctor overhead. Additionally, our platform is backed by existing billing codes, which means that Tabiat could help doctors substantially increase their revenue.
