FlexTogether is a telehealth startup that aims to expand access to respiratory rehabilitation for the 37M chronic lung disease patients. The company's unique program is designed to reduce shortness of breath and improve the quality of life for these individuals. FlexTogether has garnered recognition as an alumni of the Cedars-Sinai Accelerator and the AARP Foundation Innovation Program.
Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) has been proven to improve COPD outcomes; however, access to it has been limited by geography and adherence challenges. FlexTogether addresses these limitations by delivering PR components directly to the patient's home. This is achieved through a virtual platform that includes cardiopulmonary exercises, culturally-appropriate health education, connections with respiratory therapists and rehab providers (PT/SLP), and a supportive community.
Overall, FlexTogether is striving to make PR more accessible by leveraging telehealth, thus potentially offering a more scalable solution to the limitations of traditional in-person pulmonary rehabilitation programs. This could lead to improved health outcomes for COPD patients and potentially capture a portion of the expanding telehealth market.
