REQUIRES THE PEAK FLOWMETER SMART ONE ™ MIR SMART ONE is a revolutionary app - integrated with Apple’s app Healt- that communicates via Bluetooth Low Energy with a Peak Flowmeter (SMART ONE ™) for self-care respiratory management. The SMART ONE system (app + device) measures FEV1 and PEF using the same exact technology currently used in the most advanced pulmonary labs worldwide. The app makes the device start the PEAK FLOW and FEV1 measurement. FUNCTIONALITIES During the test, the measurements are transferred in real time from the device to the smartphone. An intuitive animation helps the user to perform the test at best. The app compares the parameter measured by the device with the target value set during configuration, displaying a traffic light health indicator (green, yellow or red) that makes it easy to interpret the test result. The test results are automatically stored on the smartphone and can be displayed later. For each test the user can add useful information such as symptoms, with the severity grade, and notes. NOTE that the personal data of the user (Date of birth, Height, Weight, Gender and Population Origin) are requested by the app for the sole and exclusive purpose of the calculation of Peak flow and FEV1 target values. SHARING With one tap the user can create and attach a pdf to an e-mail, ready to be sent to anyone is monitoring his health condition. The user can also select the time interval to be exported into the pdf. INTEGRATION WITH THE APPLE'S APP HEALTH the app SMART ONE is integrated with the Apple's app "Health". The personal and the health data sharing is performed under the apple's guidelines in order to protect the user privacy The user can give or deny to SMART ONE the permission to read from "Health" and/or write to "Health" each single type of data. SMART ONE can write to "Health" the following data (Peak Expiratory Flow Rate, Forced Expiratory Volume 1sec, Height, Weight) SMART ONE can read from "Health" the following data (Date of Birth, Sex, Height, Weight, Peak Expiratory Flow Rate, Forced Expiratory Volume 1sec). After the user permissions, the data sharing happens fully automatically, without any user specific action
