Occupational Respiratory Wellness Programme

Measure. Support. Reassess.

Advancing Respiratory Health Through Data

LungSync brings baseline spirometry, airway-clearance support with AirPhysio®, and reassessment into one record — so you can see participation, adherence and outcome trends across your workforce.

This platform records measurements taken by your health practitioner and readings you self-report. It does not diagnose or treat any condition.

The programme

A three-step clinical protocol your OH team already understands

01

Measure

An occupational health nurse or practitioner runs baseline spirometry on your workers — FEV1, FVC, PEF — alongside a short symptom check. Values and trends only; no diagnosis by the platform.

02

Support

Where results or symptoms meet your site criteria, a worker is issued an AirPhysio® airway-clearance device and supported with daily use, reminders and technique guidance.

03

Reassess

At 4–8 weeks, spirometry is repeated. LungSync produces a before/after report — de-identified aggregates for the employer, an identified clinical copy for the practitioner.

The report

One click turns the programme into a before/after report

At reassessment, LungSync generates a branded PDF: aggregate outcomes for the employer, an identified clinical appendix for the practitioner. Here is the format — the figures below are illustrative, not a measured result.

Evidence summary

Grounded in your Clinical Evidence Sheet

The final copy in this section is drawn directly from the House of Experts Clinical Evidence Sheet. The placeholders below mark where each claim, citation and evidence level will sit — no clinical claim is published until you supply and approve the copy.

OPEP

Oscillating positive expiratory pressure — the mechanism AirPhysio uses to support airway clearance and lung expansion.

4–8 wks

Typical reassessment window between baseline and follow-up spirometry in a workplace programme.

≥ 10

Minimum cohort size before any employer aggregate is shown — de-identification is enforced, not optional.

[ Evidence copy slot ] — supply the summarised findings, references and evidence levels from the Clinical Evidence Sheet and they render here, each with its citation. Claims are limited to airway clearance / lung-expansion support; no diagnostic or measurement claims are made by the platform.

The device

AirPhysio® — drug-free airway clearance

A handheld OPEP — Oscillating Positive Expiratory Pressure device that helps loosen mucus and support lung expansion. Four variants matched to lung capacity. LungSync tracks daily use and reassessment; the device is purchased from the official South African store.

Employer ROI

What respiratory absence is costing you — and the saving band

Adjust the assumptions for your workforce. This is a planning estimate to frame a pilot business case, not a clinical or financial guarantee.

R

Adjust the assumptions to match your workforce. The saving band models a 10–25% reduction in respiratory-related absence — a planning estimate, not a guaranteed or measured clinical outcome.

Book a 60-day workplace pilot

We'll design a Measure–Support–Reassess pilot for one of your sites: baseline spirometry, device issue, daily support, and a reassessment report at 4–8 weeks — with a de-identified outcomes summary for your leadership.

  • • Aggregate reporting only for employers (minimum cohort of 10)
  • • Consent-first and POPIA-aligned from day one
  • • Runs alongside your existing occupational health provider
