Meaningful improvement in breathlessness (BORG/SOBQ) &
Quality of Life (SGRQ) within 2 weeks
Immediate effect of Improved oxygen during walking (desaturation prevention) in 6-min walk test
A Small Device with Big Impact
In the team’s most recent research, the impact of PEP Buddy was studied in people with COPD during activity and during daily life.
Almost 4 in 5 (72%) people showed meaningful improvement in their shortness of breath, and they also had improved quality of life due to better control of their breathing.
Among people who had a drop in their oxygen levels when they were walking, PEP Buddy prevented the drop in oxygen in 1 out of 3 people.
“We’ve been able to see how PEP Buddy is a small, easy-to-use device that can make a big impact in someone’s life,” says Dr. Zafar.
