How does it work?
Using sensors that exist in your smartphone, using just your camera we can help you to monitor your lung health in an easy, convenient and non-invasive way. In just a couple of minutes, your vital signs will be uploaded to our safe and secure cloud-based service. Whilst that is happening, a clever application will give you tips, advice and guidance on managing your condition.
How it helps you…
Education: It is our mission to educate people with asthma, COPD, ILD and PH to ensure you are able to live the longest and fullest life with your condition.

Confidence: By giving you an easy-to-understand opportunity to manage your - or your loved ones - health conditions we hope to help you to build confidence and relieve your anxieties.
Assisting healthcare providers…
One of the benefits of the Dr In Your Pocket technology is the ability to keep your GP, consultants or specialists up to date, in real-time with your condition and how it is affecting your lung health.
Your healthcare providers will have instant access to the scans you perform allowing them to work to find the right treatment solution for you.
In addition, the vast amounts of anonymous data that Dr In Your Pocket will help researchers get a greater understanding of Asthma, COPD, ILD and PH that will revolutionize the treatments available worldwide.
At Dr In Your Pocket we understand the fears and anxieties that come with living with critical conditions.
Our experts have spent years, working alongside some of the UK’s leading medical specialists to develop the world’s first mobile phone technology that can help you to manage your condition.
You are not alone. Asthma affects 5.4million people in the UK – that is one in every twelve adults and one in every eleven children.
Whilst many of us will have control over our Asthma, the fear of attacks or symptoms developing can cause day-to-day anxiety. Especially if your child or elderly relative is the one with the condition.
Carrying an inhaler and taking any regular medication is sometimes not enough to alleviate fears, and feeling like you are in control when not regularly seen by your doctors or specialists is difficult.
