COPD Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a lung disease characterized by chronic obstruction of lung airfIow that interferes with normal breathing and is not fully reversible
​
PROBLEMS
​
%90 Patients use inhaler wrong way which affects their treatment
Improving the quality of life of the patients reduces the economic costs of the disease.
Devices which are existing in market, not directly related with respiratory physiotherapy solutions for COPD

INTERVIEW WITH DOCTORS OF CHEST DISEASE
​
​Patient monitoring is essential in the treatment period, reducing cost expenses and education of patient.
New medical device would be beneficial to remove mucosa from lungs.
Chest physiotherapy should be done with the direction of down to upside.

​
Patients feel depression, anxiety and regret in COPD.
Patients mostly are smokers
Having attacks or exacerbation creates
COPD patients spend 10 times more energy
People who have COPD are more likely to have heart attacks

Exploration
CO - KIT combines essential medical devices for treatment and tracking for COPD by sharing data between doctor and patient
Inhaler
Breath Taker
Pulse Oximeter
Mobile Nebulizer
Internet of Medical Devices
Devices can connect share data with each other.
With form usage tried to go give affordance of direction to product
Medical devices fit on kit by snap fit
Exacerbation

Chest respiratory physiotherapy
User Scenario
Mobile nebulizer
Inhaler for short reliever
Pulse oximeter
Chest respiratory physiotherapy pad aims to remove mucosa from patients lungs
Chest respiratory physiotherapy is applied from the bottom to top direction with a slightly percussion by physiotherapist or patient’s relative.
Tapping and vibration is essential with a direction.
While chest physiotherapy is working, patient can change severity by mobile application
