Description
There’s no cure for asthma and COPD, so Nightingale surrounds you with all the tools you need to live well – without us. That’s why we’ve set up a 1-year program to help you master your condition, and then if you don’t need us, we’ll be the happiest team in the world, because it will mean we helped you.
In the first month we start off at your pace even if it means spending more time with you. We will move at your pace, and as you choose – if you wish to go faster or slower, just let us know.
Learn what onset symptoms are (hint: it is not wheezing for everyone), techniques for breathing, coping mechanisms, and much more. We start off by understanding what you are like now. Then we keep you engaged along a plan that suits you, encouraging you, holding you accountable – you’ve got to have some responsibility also! – and supporting you.
ADAMM is a great tool for you to learn about yourself and then using Respiratory Therapists to understand better what it is telling you. Our Respiratory Therapists are specially trained to help you get the most out of your experience with ADAMM. ADAMM is not a standard wearable, but is built as a medical device, which means you have to take a few extra steps in setup to really guard your privacy and ensure things are accurate. So, our support staff is there for you every step of the way to ensure you have the best experience.
The little things count: we try our best to have you work with the same therapists throughout, if you can benefit from more advanced techniques we let you know. Maybe you’re trying your best, we can see that, yet things are not working out – we give you the information to take to your doctor because sometimes your doctor may need to make changes.
The added benefit of giving you access to a Respiratory Therapist and a Wellness Coach on your schedule is that you get to ask all the questions you want when you want about your respiratory condition. Talk to someone about symptoms you don’t understand. Get coaching on life issues – whether or not you think they affect your respiratory condition, it’s all related! Leave notes in the app for them between chats, and they’ll respond, or you can just leave it as a reminder to talk about next time!
Sometimes being part of something bigger helps so we run a closed Facebook Group just for you – a safe space to see all our tips at a glance, for you to share your experiences, connect with those going through the same thing and for you to leave us your feedback and suggestions. Of course, joining is optional.
This package is best experienced if you have a smart phone with internet access. We use a mixture of texting, voice calls, video calls (optional) and our symptom tracking app based on what you prefer.
